Description

Winner at the 2017 International Latino Book Awards. From the beginning, honesty and true values have always guided the great tennis player Rafa Nadal through success.

“Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved tennis and soccer, just like so many other children in every corner of the world. He was four years old and he spent the whole day kicking a ball around and glued to a tennis racket”. Rafa Nadal developed an innate talent for tennis as a child, and he always had a beacon of light that reminded him of what is truly important: respect, commitment, family, truth, responsibility.

The What Really Matters Series presents real-life stories of people who realized their greatest potential despite challenges presented to them. Endorsed by the main characters, it benefits the What Really Matters Foundation, which promotes universal human values by showcasing extraordinary achievements by inspiring people.

Premiado en Estados Unidos en los 2017 International Latino Book Awards. Con la humildad siempre como bandera, el gran tenista Rafa Nadal fue descubriendo, ya desde su infancia, lo que de verdad importa y los valores que guían su vida.

«Érase una vez… un niño al que le encantaba jugar al tenis y al fútbol, como a tantos otros niños que vivían en los rincones más dispares del mundo. Tenía cuatro años y se pasaba el día pegado a un raqueta y a un balón». Rafa Nadal desarrolló de pequeño un talento innato por el tenis, pero siempre tuvo un faro de luz que le recordó lo que realmente es importante: el respeto, el compromiso, la familia, la verdad, la responsabilidad.

La colección Lo que de Verdad Importa nace del corazón y de la unión de la Fundación Lo Que de Verdad Importa y la editorial Cuento de Luz. Presenta historias reales de personas que se dieron cuenta de su gran potencial a pesar de los desafíos que se les presentaron. Compartimos sueños, ilusión y la misma filosofía de difusión de valores universales.
