January - Autobiography
My name is Juanito Laguna. I'm twelve. I live in the street. I am an orphan. Nobody cares for me. I like playing football and I have lots of friends. But my dream is to have a family. Every morning I get up and walk around looking for more friends.
I have got short brown hair and brown eyes. I am tall and slim. I am very weak and I am very strong at the same time.
I would like to eat chicken, sausages, hamburgers, pizza but I don't eat every day.
I don't want to live in this neighbourhood because it is ugly, dirty and dangerous.
I would like to leave this place but here is the river.... I know it is dirty... I shouldn't bathe in it... but I can't help remaining near the river, I'love it!!!

February - Juanito's character - A letter
Juanito Laguna Buenos Aires, August 18th. 1999
Dear Maggie, I want to tell you about an extraordinary experience I had. Last week I met a singular character. His name is Juanito Laguna. He lives on Isla Maciel. He is very thin but healthy. He is about twelve years old.I was very surprised at his intelligence. His language is rather poor but he talks sense. He is a little rascal but he has a heart of gold. He can give his only coin to a poor beggar and the next moment laugh at him with his friends. He might share the little food with another boy and then play with the other boys.I think his life is full of adventures and excitement. I wanted to follow him. But he is too cautious. He knew I wanted to talk to him and he ran away. I don't think I'll ever see him again. What a pity! Love
March - Juanito Laguna's dream
Juanito LagunaJuanito was an orphan and he was very poor. He used to dream about having a bike. He always stopped in front of a toyshop window and, looking at the bikes, he moaned. Once a man that was passing by, hearing him complaining and sobbing, asked him:"- What's your name? I'm Juanito Laguna- Why are you crying?- Because I want a bike and I have no money, he mumbled.- The man thought for a while and said, "Wait here, please. I'll come back soon. He returned with a brilliant red bike and gave it to Juanito. He was astonished. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He started laughing and, mounting his bike, he rode away.

April - Juanito Laguna and his kite
Juanito Laguna Once Juanito was flying a kite. Suddenly it began to rain. There was a flash of lightning and a deafening clasp of thunder was heard. The kite was struck by lightning and his hand was hurt.Juanito ran to the river to ease the pain of his hand. He put a bandage on it and decided to sell kites instead of flying them. He needed money to buy a new jacket because he did not want to feel cold any more.Camila FigueroaAelín Lemelleit Yamila Ferreiro

June - Juanito in tears - Juanito Laguna
Juanito Laguna is very sensitive. He's too young, he's at an impressionable age. Sometimes he becomes emotional. He's looking out of the window. He sees an old man searching the garbage for food. He feels miserable. He can't help weeping and suffering.

August - Juanito likes fishing
Juanito His name was Juanito Laguna. He lived on Maciel Island. His house was made of cardboard and tins and it was near the river. He gathered old newspapers to sell them and get some money. He went fishing, just for sport. At weekends he played football. At night he sat near the river and dreamed. In winter he looked for wood to make a fire. It is so cold near the river!
