Hay veces en una vida en las que el mundo se detiene. Para los padres de Felipe Mateos, el mundo se detuvo el d a en que naci . Porque Felipe hab a nacido con osteog nesis imperfecta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of personal growth about how to take on life, illness and the self with a healthy dose of humor.

"If I didn't have a sense of humor about everything that's happened to me, I would have died (of disgust) years ago."

There are times in life when the world stops. For the parents of Felipe Mateos, the day he was born was one of those times. Felipe was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, better known as brittle bone disease. But although the world may have stopped that day, it has kept turning, despite an uncertain prognosis and countless fractures.

In this book, Felipe Mateos demonstrates that, with love and humor (which aren't as different as they may seem), our weaknesses can be a source of strength. Because humor, like us, can be more powerful than we ever suspected.
