Growing up in the ’70s in Barcelona, her heroines were Pippi Longstocking, Momo and Tinkerbell, and she felt great admiration for the Spanish poet Gloria Fuertes. She dreamed of becoming a poet just like her one day. It took Maria Isabel almost 40 years and most of her savings to make her dream come true. In 2012, after 20 years of working in advertising, she self-published her first book. Two years later, she released what was meant to be a birth present for her twin nieces, Alba and Claudia: the very first title in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e=====\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9780711271227\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003eSize: 24 x 19.5cm\u003cbr\u003ePages: 32\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woods in the Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43143672201390,"sku":"9780711271227","price":17.66,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2950\/5102\/products\/Alexander-von-humboldt1.jpg?v=1658370411","url":"https:\/\/www.woods-in-thebooks.mom\/products\/little-people-big-dreams-alexander-von-humboldt","provider":"Woods in the Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
