JULIO PULIO
THE AMBER ANGEL
JULIO PULIO describes a boy who tragically loses his family in a shipwreck at sea. Alone and hungry, he lands on the beautiful beach of the Dominican Republic. Sadly, he finds that he is not accepted by the local people because he looks different.

This young boy must survive. But how? He spends his nights alone, looking for a place to go. Remarkably, he remembers what his mother had taught him—and his adventure becomes one of giving to families in need.
