Description

La científica de tiburones galardonada como una de las 30 menores de 30 de Forbes en 2021 entre otros honores y mundialmente reconocida Melissa Cristina Márquez se une a la premiada ilustradora Devin Elle Kurtz para crear un impactante libro ilustrado que explora el viaje personal de Melissa desde su inquisitive niñez y amor hacia el océano en Puerto Rico hasta ser llamada la Madre de los Tiburones.

A medida que el sol se pone sobre otro hermoso día en la Playita Del Condado en Puerto Rico, Meli no quiere irse a casa. Le encanta el océano más que nada, y con solo cinco minutos de playa sabe exactamente dónde debería estar su última parada: las pozas de marea. Son pequeños universos llenos de vida y criaturas marinas.

Mientras mira dentro de las pozas, se encuentra con un cangrejo, Jaiba, que la lleva a una aventura submarina de ensueño, le enseña sobre la importancia de la conservación de los tiburones y revela el destino final de Meli: convertirse en la “Madre de los Tiburones”.

Mezclando lo autobiográfico con lo fantástico, Melissa Cristina Márquez comparte su increíble travesia no sólo para disipar mitos sobre estas criaturas incomprendidas sino también para allanar el camino para que las latinas despunten en STEM. Combinado con las vibrantes y emotivas ilustraciones de Devin Elle Kurtz, este libro es un viaje irresistible a través de las maravillas del océano y, sobre todo, un grito de Guerra por la conservación marina.

About the Author

Devin Elle Kurtz lives in Pasadena with her dog, Kira, and her thirty-three houseplants. She's been painting in Photoshop since the age of two when her artist mom first offered her a tablet pen. Her focus is magical scenes that combine fantasy elements with environments that feel visceral and real. She has worked in the animation industry as a background painter/designer and visual development artist since 2017. She was the lead background painter on “Disenchantment” at Rough Draft Studios from 2019-2021, and has contributed to publications such as Beasts of the Four Nations, Escape from Atlantis, How to Heal a Gryphon, and Mother of Sharks. The Bakery Dragon is her first picture book as an author-illustrator.
