«El hombre pequeñito» is the children's novel by Erich Kästner, published in 1987 by Salvat Alfaguara in paperback (205 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows a tiny man who retains a childlike gaze and aspires to become one of the world's great artists. With a ruler and a box of matches incorporated into his daily life, the novel combines humour and tenderness, and champions imagination against the rush of adults.
It is part of the Biblioteca Juvenil collection (no. 8); it was originally published in 1963 as «Der kleine Mann» and won the Mildred L. Batchelder Award in 1968.
Aimed at child and young adult readers who want to approach a German classic full of humour and imagination.
Emil Erich Kästner was a German writer, poet, screenwriter and satirist, known primarily for his humorous, socially astute poems and for children's books including Emil and the Detectives and Lisa and Lottie. He received the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1960 for his autobiography When I Was a Little Boy. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in eight separate years.
