TORO

Alicía Catalina Cortés is a Spanish cow who defies tradition to follow her dream of running with the bulls during the fiesta of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. Through her journey, Alicía learns what it truly means to be noble and brave.

​

Toro is set in the colorful backdrop of Pamplona, Spain, during Sanfermines and the running of the bulls, famed as one of the most exhilarating, dangerous, and spectacular events around the world. Ultimately, it’s a heartfelt, coming-of-age fable told from the cattle’s point of view.

 

Like Charlotte’s Web, The Jungle Book, and Fantastic Mr. Fox, talking animals drive the narrative. The first in a projected three-book series, Toro is a middle grade fiction novel that will charm, awe, and inspire generation after generation. It’s a timeless tale for the ages—for all ages.
