A child learns about different occupations and being proud of family in this inclusive book.
The other day at school, a classmate got angry at me and said, "Clown!"
I thanked him and gave him a kiss.
He didn't understand but we became friends again."
"What do you want to be when you grow up" is a question that fascinates kids and this book explores two occupations -- healing the soul (clown) and healing the body (doctor). Plus there's a need for books showing families of all types so children can see themselves and their families represented in books.
José Carlos Andrés is a famous author in Spain. He is a professional clown and children's theater actor.
Natalia Hernandez has illustrated several picture books in Spain. Her unique style is reminiscent of vintage-style art.

A fun addition to any school and home library.” — Kids Books Central “… a sweet story about a boy who loves and is proud of his parents. We also see a loving relationship between the boy’s parents, who happen to both be men....good for English and Spanish language learners, and is a sweet story about family love to add to your bilingual collections and your storytime rotation.
