Book Synopsis



This is the incredible, inspiring tale of a little boy from the heart of Africa who was able to overcome all of the obstacles in his life and become an Olympic athlete. A story of hope and peace, which shows us how there is always a light that shines to guide us, even in the darkest moments.

Lopepe was born in an African town called Kimotong and grew up helping his family. But one Sunday in summer everything changed when a group of rebel soldiers stormed his town in a great uproar and kidnapped a large group of children, among whom was Lopepe. Guided by three very special friends, he managed to escape and reach a refugee camp that welcomed him. The boy spent the day running to forget his hunger and to keep the memory of his mother alive, But who would have thought that running could also give you wings to fly?

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.

La increíble e inspiradora historia de un niño que desde el corazón de África supo vencer todos los obstáculos y logró convertirse en atleta olímpico. Un canto a la esperanza y a la paz que nos muestra que hasta en la oscuridad, siempre brilla una luz que nos guía.

Lopepe nació en un poblado africano llamado Kimotong y creció ayudando a su familia. Pero un domingo de verano todo cambió, cuando un grupo de soldados rebeldes irrumpió en su pueblo formando un gran alboroto y secuestró a un gran grupo de niños, entre los cuales se encontraba Lopepe. Guiado por tres amigos muy especiales, consiguió escapar y llegar a un campo de refugiados que lo acogió.

El chico se pasaba el día corriendo para olvidar el hambre que pasaba y para mantener vivo el recuerdo de su madre, pero ¿quién habría dicho que correr podría también darle alas para volar?

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.



Review Quotes




"Readers will be moved by Lomong's eventful story and inspired by his ongoing philanthropic work." --Booklist Online

"(...) Recommended for specific topical studies or as general additions to biography collections." --School Library Journal

"Uyá transforms this story into stone paper in a collection of African landscapes that confronts, as the story progresses, with the peace and the discovery of new tones that the protagonist experienced at the beginning of his North American stage." --Canal Lector
