Seventeenth century Madrid is not a kind place for a dwarf like Bartolomé, and his family has to keep him hidden in a small back room. Then the King's little daughter, the Infanta, wants to have him as her 'human-dog'. But life in the royal palace is scary and humiliating. Until Bartolomé discovers the artist's studio...

Colourful and gripping, this is an inspiring story of courage and hope.

Happy Birthday, Kiki :-)
