Synopsis
A Juan le gustaba pintarse las uñas y cuando se rieron de él en el colegio, su padre decidió apoyarle y pintárselas él también. Esta es una historia inspirada en hechos reales.
The translation is smooth and the writing clear and straightforward. Children will understand the narrative easily and empathize with Ben. Gusti's watercolors are loose and flowing, similar to those of Chris Raschka. The bright nails stand out from the earth tones of the characters' skin, hair, and clothing. The love between the family is depicted through physical contact, and Ben's smile and rosy cheeks light up the final page, as he flaunts his blue polish while wearing a birthday hat.
