Cocorí

Cocorí is Costa Rican author Joaquín Gutiérrez's most popular children's book, perhaps only topped by La Hoja de Aire. Published in 1947, the short novel ranks among the most outstanding children's stories in Costa Rica, though it is no longer mandatory but suggested reading in primary schools. It has been translated into ten languages, and adapted for the theater several times in Germany, Czech Republic, Mexico and seven other countries.
