Description

Living in a small town, Toto wishes to escape the inevitable life in front of him. He will never become a porter, he will become an astronaut instead! He bravely packs his bags, kisses his parents goodbye and sets off for the bright lights of the big city. Even when all his money for astronaut school is stolen by thieves, his hard work and stubborn determination sees him through. The small town villagers are awoken in the night by a huge roar - and are delighted to see Toto has come back to them on a rocket - his dreams finally a reality!

This quirky, original story by the highly-acclaimed artist Ximo Abadia has an important message - never give up on your dreams. An endearing tale illustrated with vivid surrealist artwork, this story is as imaginative as it is bold.
