Una novela perspicaz escrita en verso sobre las alegrΓas y las dificultades de una niΓ±a chicana que es una guerrera por su nombre, su historia y su derecho a elegir lo que ella quiere celebrar de la vida.
Celina y su familia son bilingΓΌes y siguen las tradiciones mexicanas y estadounidenses. Celina se maravilla con su herencia mexicana, pero una vez que comienza la escuela, siente que el mundo quiere que borre esa parte de su identidad. Afortunadamente, tiene un ejΓ©rcito de familiares y tres nuevos amigos fabulosos que la ayudarΓ‘n a luchar contra la ignorancia. Pero su abuela, quien es su mayor inspiraciΓ³n, la anima a construir una barrera de alegrΓa a su alrededor. Porque cuando estΓ‘s de fiesta y alegre, cuando encuentras un motivo para cantar o bailar o pintar o jugar o reΓr o escribir, no te han quitado nada.
Β
Por supuesto, no es posible mantenerse en modo celebraciΓ³n cuando las cosas se ponen feas, como cuando deportan a su padre y llega una pandemia, pero si hay algo de lo que Celina estΓ‘ segura es que siempre estarΓ‘ a la altura de su apellido: Guerrera, y que usarΓ‘ su voz y su talento para escribir para mostrarle a todos que el mundo es un lugar mΓ‘s hermoso porque hay gente como ella en Γ©l.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An insightful novel in verse about the joys and struggles of a Chicana girl whoΒ is a warrior for her name, her history, and her right to choose what sheΒ celebrates in life.
Celina and her family are bilingual and follow both Mexican and American traditions. Celina revelsΒ in her Mexican heritage, but once she starts school it feels like the world wants her to erase thatΒ part of her identity. Fortunately, sheβs got an army of family and three fabulous new friendsΒ behind her to fight the ignorance. But itβs her Gramma whoβs her biggest inspiration, encouragingΒ Celina to build a shield of joy around herself. Because when youβre celebrating, when you find aΒ reason to sing or dance or paint or play or laugh or write, they havenβt taken everything awayΒ from you. Of course, itβs not possible to stay in celebration mode when things get dire βlike whenΒ her dadβs deported and a pandemic hitsβ but if there is anything Celinaβs sure of, itβs that sheβllΒ always live up to her last name: Guerrera βwoman warriorβ and that she will use her voice andΒ writing talents to show the world itβs a more beautiful place because people like her are in it.
