El payaso de este cuento se viste con pantalones floreados y casco de bomberos, le gusta contar chistes y apagar el fuego. Al resto de los payasos, y también al resto de los bomberos, esto le parece muy raro y no lo aceptan dentro de su grupo. Pero el protagonista se esfuerza por dar lo mejor de sí y sobresalir en los dos mundos, enseñándole a los demás que aceptar las diferencias nos convierte en mejores personas.

 

English Description:

El payaso bombero by Matías Mackenna, illustrated by Evangelina Prieto, is a charming and meaningful picture book about a clown who also dreams of being a firefighter. Dressed in flowered pants and a fire helmet, he loves telling jokes and putting out fires—but neither the other clowns nor the firefighters understand his unusual combination. Through perseverance and kindness, he proves that embracing one’s unique identity can bridge worlds and inspire others. With accessible Spanish and vibrant illustrations, this story is a wonderful resource for dual-language educators to explore self-expression, inclusion, and the courage to be different with early readers.
