Donde el corazón te lleva : la historia de Dindim y Joao / by Gold, Irma.; Crispe, Susannah.;

El viejo Joao lo cuidó, alimentó y lo llamó Dindim. Dindim permaneció con su amigo hasta que un día sintió la llamada de la naturaleza y abandonó la isla migrando hasta la Patagonia. Por razones insondables para los científicos, Dindim ha decidido regresar cada año junto a Joao, haciendo un viaje de miles de kilómetros y enfrentándose a múltiples dificultades.
