A wooden cart. A dull Christmas. A lesson that lasts a lifetime.
The Wooden Cart is a deeply emotional tale inspired by a real childhood experience of the author. Set in rural Costa Rica in the sixties, it tells the story of Gerardo, a boy who awaits Christmas with a heart full of questions and an illusion that seems to find no answer in the gifts of the world.
The Wooden Cart is a deeply emotional tale inspired by a real childhood experience of the author. Set in rural Costa Rica in the sixties, it tells the story of Gerardo, a boy who awaits Christmas with a heart full of questions and an illusion that seems to find no answer in the gifts of the world.
In a humble house, with many siblings, a tireless mother and few material resources, Gerardo learns - without knowing it - that love does not always come wrapped in shiny paper. Through a mysterious night, awakening memories and a handmade gift, the boy begins an inner journey that will forever transform his way of understanding Christmas, self-worth and true love.
Years later, as an adult and a father, Gerardo shares that story with his own children, closing a circle of love that crosses generations.
This book is a tribute to mothers who give without measuring, to simple childhoods, and to all readers who ever felt that they were missing something... until they understood that they already had everything.
Ideal for reading with the family, to give as a Christmas gift or to reconnect with the essentials.
Because, in the end, the true gift is not what we receive, but what we learn to give.Top of the form
