Hardcover. Brooklyn NY, Elsewhere Editions, 1st, 2025, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, oblong format, b&w illustrations. Introducing the Latin American comics sensation starring a hilarious 6-year-old whose spunky self-confidence will inspire budding activists and curious readers of all ages. Mafalda loves democracy and hates soup. What democratic sector do cats fall into? she asks, then unfurls a toilet paper red carpet and gives her very own presidential address. Mafalda's precociousness and passion stump all grown-ups around her. Dissident and rebellious, she refuses to abandon the world to her parents' generation, who seem so lost. Alongside the irascible Mafalda, readers will meet her eclectic group of playmates: dreamy Felipe and gossipy Susanita, young-capitalist Manolito and rebellious Miguelito. Quino's bright irony and intelligence bring the streets and neighborhoods of Buenos Aires to life. Clean copy.
