"Our students loved having a real author, with fun props visit our elementary. Mr. Flores was funny, patient, and allowed the students to be a part of the program. We are very happy with the decision to invite Mr. . Flores, and we look forward to him coming back with new books and characters."
David Antonio Flores, you were by far one of the best authors I have ever seen visit a school and I have been teaching for 22 years. Thank you very much!!!!
I highly recommend adding Brownie Books to your school and classroom libraries! Brownie Books content is culturally spot on with highly interesting Bilingual story lines. I immediately bought a copy of David Flores’ entire selection of books for my grandchildren! “Mis Chanclas and my Chones” and “Tita la Gallinita” became instant Favs! They are high quality books with amazing illustrations!
Tony and his Dad loved to watch Fútbol together. From this, he discovered how to fake a foul. By faking being hurt, he was given free kicks and penalty kicks that often led to his team's victory. With the help of his golazos and his world-class diving (Think Neymar, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets!), his team makes it to the Dallas Cup final! Will Tony use his trick of calling a ¡Falta! to help win the game? Or will he learn that he's called foul one too many times?
"While reading, I felt like I was watching an episode of ¡Supercampeones! An important lesson for all the little sport fans who love a great story. Recommended reading material for future World Cup stars!" -123 Andrés
"A great book for all soccer fans and players. David tells a great story that shows how special the Dallas soccer community is... while also providing a very important life lesson about fair play." -Gordon Jago
"A must read for any child who plays the beautiful game. As someone who uses fútbol to teach life lessons, this book teaches one of the most important ones." -Juan Martinez
