About The Book

¡Tres críticas con estrella!

Un pequeño murciélago lucha por encajar, pero termina celebrado sus diferencias en este «encantador libro para todos los niños, especialmente para aquellos con autismo» (Kirkus Reviews, crítica con estrella) de la autora e ilustradora Kaz Windness, ganadora del Premio Theodor Seuss Geisel. Bitsy Murciélago: estrella escolar es un libro sobre ir a la escuela, hacer amigos, y ver lo único y especial en cada persona.

Bitsy es un pequeño murciélago que sueña con hacer amigos en su nueva escuela. Pero cuando llega, Bitsy siente que no encaja. Los otros niños se sientan en sus sillas, pero Bitsy se marea al sentarse derecha. Los otros niños pintan con los dedos, pero Bitsy prefiere usar los dedos de los pies. Todo el mundo le dice a Bitsy que está haciendo las cosas mal, mal, mal. Bitsy se esfuerza por hacer las cosas mejor... y acaba teniendo una crisis de cinco estrellas.

Ahora Bitsy se siente una estrella muy pequeña y no quiere volver a la escuela. Pero con la ayuda de su familia, Bitsy se arma de valor, idea un nuevo plan y descubre que ser una buena amiga es una de las tantas cosas que la hacen brillar.

El libro incluye una página con más información sobre el autismo, lo que lo convierte en «un recurso especialmente útil para todos los niños» (BookPage, crítica con estrella).
