Overview

A dazzling story told with the sensitivity, humor, and brilliant verse of debut talent Aida Salazar.

La vida de Celi Rivera está llena de incertidumbre. Incertidumbre cuando su cuerpo comienza a cambiar. Incertidumbre cuando por primera vez se siente atraída por un chico. Incertidumbre cuando su mejor amigo comienza a explorar el significado de ser "género fluido".

Pero, sobre todo, incertidumbre cuando su madre comienza a insistir en hacerle una ceremonia lunar cuando le llega la primera regla. Este es un antiguo ritual mexica que Mima y su comunidad han rescatado, pero Celi se promete a sí misma que ella no va a formar parte de esto. ¿Podrá encontrar dentro de sí la fuerza para tomar partido por lo que en realidad quiere ser?



Celi Rivera's life swirls with questions. About her changing body. Her first attraction to a boy. And her best friend's exploration of what it means to be gender-fluid.

But most of all, her mother's insistence she have a moon ceremony when her first period arrives. It's an ancestral Mexica ritual that Mima and her community have reclaimed, but Celi promises she will NOT be participating. Can she find the power within herself to take a stand for who she wants to be?
