En el barrio de Javier, los tatuajes identifican a miembros de una pandilla. Cuando Javier ve los tatuajes del maestro, aprende que no todo es como parece y descubre el significado cultural de los tatuajes.

Esta historia está basada en lo que sucedió cuando Darren López cursaba el primer año como maestro en Washington DC sin conocer la cultura centroamericana. Es un buen punto de partida para hablar con los niños sobre formas de autoexpresión, como los tatuajes, y cómo pueden mostrar positivamente una cultura o el recorrido personal de alguien en vez de tener una conexión con algo peligroso.

In Javier's neighborhood, tattoos represent gang membership. After Javier catches an unexpected glimpse of his new teacher's tattoos, he learns that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to the cultural significance of tattoos.

Based on real events that took place during author Darren Lopez's first year teaching in Washington DC, My Teacher Has Tattoos is an impactful conversation starter that brings to life the pitfalls of stereotyping in the classroom and beyond. This Spanish-language translation brings an important story of overcoming bias to a new audience.

Lopez, Darren: - Darren Lopez was raised in the NYC suburbs. As a bi-ethnic (Puerto Rican/Colombian) child, he lacked representation in his community and education and was acutely aware of the prejudice he faced. As a college athlete, he studied anthropology and began to reclaim the native roots his parents had suppressed in their efforts to raise an assimilated child of immigrants. Learning oral histories from his elders gave him an avenue to finetune his storytelling craft and enabled him to share his stories and adventures to the elementary school students he currently teaches in Washington, D.C.

Madanasinghe, Bhagya: - Bhagya Madanasinghe grew up in a Tea Estate surrounded by undulating mountains to the hilly side of Sri Lanka. Her childhood was always filled with sun, green and mist. She went on to study Architecture in the most urban city In Sri Lanka. Her interest in illustrating began when she was able to grab much needed exposure and freedom while practicing as a professional architect. She began to give more attention to illustrations and working with architecture made her see things in a different perspective. Her main inspiration is her childhood which she spent with her sister and brother.
