Does that mean he can fly?So Carrasco embarks on an exploration. He climbs trees and pores through books in the library, but doesn't find a bird that looks like him. He tries to eat birdseed, but it doesn't taste very good. It seems like he's not a bird. But, being as curious as he is, Carrasco has one final test to be sure: trying to fly.Translated to English for the first time, this hilarious children's book by esteemed author and illustrator Rocio Bonilla is being brought to a new audience.A publisher's note highlights connections between the story and Jewish teachings about identity.
