Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the help and support of my mentor, Richard, who jumped in blindly and believed in me to write it. Also, of course, to Dr. Arturo Castillo Castillo, who shared all his knowledge and experience with me, verifying and reviewing every fact presented in this story.
To my dear friends, there are no words to express how lucky I am to have you in my life: Sara, Sam, Rashmi, Atocha, and Mar. And to Belén and Grace—
key figures in helping me write this book—thank you a thousand times over.
Finally, I want to thank my family for always supporting me in every project. Especially my mother, for planting the seed from which this book has grown.
Welcome, adventurers!
I’ve been waiting for you. I guess you picked up this book for one of two reasons:
1. You’re my hero and want to help me achieve my dream of being recycled.
In that case, you’re exactly the kind of person I’m looking for—and you’ll need to go find one of these:
2. You’re a supervillain who wants to ruin my life even more.
If that’s the case, you’d better hold on tight, because you’re about to embark on a wild adventure! I bet that by the end of this book, we’ll be friends!
So tell me... Are you a hero or a supervillain?
Now that I know you a little better, let me introduce myself.
I’m Mike! I’ll be with you throughout this journey.
I’ve prepared some games and fun facts to guide you along the adventure. I hope you enjoy it, have fun, and learn something along the way!
To begin, I’d like to introduce you to one of my heroes.
Her name is María, and she’s a product designer—pretty cool, right?
She’s the one who helped me write this book.
I even drew a little portrait of her so you can get to know her better. Now then, are you ready? Let’s go!
Mike, a friendly and endearing character, tells us about his incredible adventure that ends inside a human stomach. Through his story, games, and challenges, we meet his curious friends and discover—playfully—how our actions affect the planet. An illustrated journey full of humor, awareness, and surprises.
Implicit values
Empathy, respect, bold dreams, and care for the planet intertwine in a story that inspires readers to act with heart and responsibility.
