A story about the value of diversity
Patricia and Karina Cocq Muñoz write an ingenious, sophisticated and
beautiful fable. The main character is Juanita, a shy and untidy street cat,
but she has a characteristic that makes her different from the other
animals in the neighborhood: she is a reader. The strange thing is that
they don’t like her. They make fun of her for being different, for not having
defined features.
Juanita's fur is like the tortoiseshell, multicolor. According to the canon,
she is not pretty. This has given rise to a series of myths to explain her
unique "design".
This fable subtly reveals itself against the tyranny of the homogeneous and
the similarity as a rule. Juanita becomes aware of the slavery imposed on
