By Gomez David - Illustrated by Luzón Carolina
Sophia is a dragonfly born with one wing smaller than the other. That doesn't stop her from flying fast and performing countless tricks, her favorite pastime. But there's something that makes her feel restless, anxious, and uncomfortable every day: Sophia needs to have everything under control and know what will happen at every moment, after every task.
Sophia tirelessly asks her mother, "what will they do next?" again and again, without finding the true peace she needs in the answers her mother provides. For her tranquility, her creative, loving, and patient mother will devise a foolproof plan that will allow her to relax and enjoy what she loves the most.
An extraordinary resource is presented as an illustrated album to address functional diversity and its particularities, family support, and the instinct to overcome challenges.
it is also a story of family coexistence, parenting, and motherhood. As the story is not explicitly narrated from the perspective of autism or functional diversity, it allows any young reader to empathize with the impatience of its restless protagonist.
Sophia's Flight
David Gómez combines his writing profession with his work at the Observatory of Childhood and Adolescence of Andalusia (OIA-A). The social activism complements all of this he engages in to raise awareness about functional diversity, particularly related to the autism spectrum.
