Pedrosa Launches Charity Children's Book

Many professional riders
engage in a variety of promotional activities during the offseason.
Dani Pedrosa decided to spend his time off helping to launch a
children's book, which was recently released in Spain just in time
for Christmas.
The book, entitled "Two Elves for Dani Pedrosa," combines fantasy
with reality as it tells the tale of Pedrosa's eventual rise to
MotoGP champion. The story begins with a five-year-old Pedrosa
discovering a motocross suit under the Christmas tree left by two
magical elves named Tim and Tom. This duo eventually helps Pedrosa
throughout his career as they guide him to his goal of becoming one
of the best riders in the world.
Pedrosa had some help in creating the book via writer Pau Joan
Hernández and illustrator Jordi Vila Delclos. Two versions of the
book are available - one in Catalan and one in Spanish. All
proceeds will go to SOS Aldeas Infantiles, an organization that
places orphaned children in stable family environments.
"Since a young age when I saw the races on television, my dream was
to become a rider - and what began as a game has finally become my
life," said Pedrosa. "All children have dreams and the most
important thing is to keep trying to reach those dreams, however
difficult they may seem. Then, the effort is also important because
talent alone is not enough. These are important values you learn as
a child."
