El primer libro ilustrado de Matthew McConaughey, actor ganador del Óscar y autor bestseller del New York Times.

Que esté en la línea de salida
no quiere decir que esté lista para empezar.
Que todo el cuerpo te tiemble
no quiere decir que vayas a fracasar.


¿Alguna vez te has preocupado y emocionado al mismo tiempo?

¿O te han hecho sentir mal pero has sido capaz de perdonar?

¿Alguna vez has pensado si hay más de una respuesta correcta a una pregunta?

La vida está llena de contradicciones. Y son estas contradicciones las que nos hacen ser quienes somos.

Con el humor y la sabiduría que lo caracterizan, Matthew McConaughey, actor ganador de un Óscar y autor bestseller y número uno del New York Times, ofrece una compilación de lecciones vitales fresca y conmovedora que invita a los lectores de todas las edades a celebrar las posibilidades que habitan en nosotros.

¿Por qué? Porque todo puede ser. 

The debut picture book by Academy Award-winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey, now available in Spanish!

Just because I’m in the race,
doesn’t mean I’m fully ready.
Just because I’m shaking,
doesn’t mean that I’m not steady.

Have you ever felt worried and excited at the same time?

Have you ever had your feelings hurt but forgiven someone anyway?

Have you ever thought there was more than one right answer to a question?

That’s because contradictions are all around us. And they make us who we are.

Filled with his trademark humor and wisdom, Academy Award–winning actor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Matthew McConaughey has crafted a soulful and irreverent collection of life lessons that empowers readers, big and small, to celebrate how we are all full of possibility.

Why? Just because.
