The Map of Good Memories

There are places that remind us of happy moments. Zoe, a little girl who has to flee from her city with her family because of a war, remembers them before she leaves. She uses them to draw a “map of good memories,” knowing that they will always be with her.

Several years ago, Fran Nuño had the chance to parlay his passion for literature into 100% of his livelihood. He likes to say that he lives off the tales, since he really enjoys writing and telling his stories wherever he is invited to do so.

Fran has already published more than 15 books, most of them for children and teenagers. He has been awarded several honorable mentions in important award categories, but he works with the same keenness of his very first day. Most important to his work is meeting his readers at schools, libraries, bookshops, and book fairs. He learns a lot from them and they, with their enthusiasm, inspire him to go on in this difficult but wonderful world of books.
