¡Seleccionado como Honor Book por el Premio Printz y Premio YALSA 2022 a mejor libro de literatura juvenil!
Desde que hizo un estruendoso splash al lanzarse a la piscina y usó un bañador de ballena, a Ellie la han aco-sado por su peso. Para soportarlo, vive de acuerdo a sus Reglas de las Chicas Gordas y encuentra refugio en nadar. En el agua se siente liviana, puede estirarse como una estrella de mar, ocupar todo el espacio que quiera.
A su vida llegarán Catalina, una amiga que no juzga, y una nueva terapeuta que sabe cómo reírse de las cosas. Con su ayuda, Ellie tendrá el valor de mostrar la versión más auténtica y fabulosa de sí misma.
El inspirador debut de Lisa Fipps se enfrenta a la gor-dofobia y sus consecuencias. Esta es una historia para todos aquellos a quienes alguna vez hicieron sentir me-nos y, como Ellie, lucharon por descubrir su propio valor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A Printz Honor winner!
Ellie is tired of being fat-shamed and does something about it in this poignant debut novel-in-verse.
Ever since Ellie wore a whale swimsuit and made a big splash at her fifth birthday party, she's been bullied about her weight. To cope, she tries to live by the Fat Girl Rules—like "no making waves," "avoid eating in public," and "don't move so fast that your body jiggles." And she's found her safe space—her swimming pool—where she feels weightless in a fat-obsessed world. In the water, she can stretch herself out like a starfish and takeup all the room she wants. It's also where she can get away from her pushy mom, who thinks criticizing Ellie's weight will motivate her to diet.
Fortunately, Ellie has allies in her dad, her therapist, and her new neighbor, Catalina, who loves Ellie for who she is. With this support buoying her, Ellie might finally be able to cast aside the Fat Girl Rules and starfish in real life--by unapologetically being her own fabulous self.
