        El Famoso Flat Top de Furqan

        by Mara July 20, 2017

        Illustration from El Primer Corte De Mesita De Furqan / Furqan's First Flat Top by Robert Liu-Trujillo.

        Español

        Nuevamente llegado a nuestras bibliotecas, les presentamos Furqan: un niño Afro Latino que tiene ganas de algo diferente para su peinado. Este libro bilingüe es escrito e ilustrado por un autor local, Roberto Liu-Trujillo, con traducción por Cinthya Muñoz, y se llama El Primer Corte de Mesita de Furqan/Furqan's First Flat Top.

        Furqan quiere un corte de mesita (un "flat top") pero también siente un poco de nervios. ¿Que si resulta raro? No hay que contar el final pero les aseguro que su nuevo corte resulta llamativo cuando Furqan regresa a la escuela. ¡Arriba Furqan el audaz!

        Aunque no hay nada como sentir un libro en las manos, o compartirlo a voz alta con otro lector, hay algo igualmente especial en oír la voz del autor. Escuche a Liu-Trujillo leer selecciones de su libro en el ‘trailer’ del libro.

        También puede ver más del arte de Liu-Trujillo en su sitio internet, opens a new window.

        Y finalmente, porque nos encantan los libros y siempre queremos compartir más, aquí está otro libro simpático acerca de los peinados:

        Happy Hair


        English

        Check out this new addition to our libraries by local author Roberto Liu-Trujillo. A bilingual Spanish/English book, El Primer Corte de Mesita de Furqan/Furqan's First Flat Top introduces Furqan, an Afro Latino boy who's ready for a new aesthetic in his coiffure. The story is written and illustrated by Liu-Trujillo with Spanish translation by Cinthya Muñoz.

        Furqan wants to get a fresh new haircut but he's also a little nervous. At Mr. Wallace's barbershop he sees lots of styles, some instruments he recognizes and others he doesn't, and he starts to imagine what his hair might look like. What if it doesn't look good?! Things could get funny-looking fast. No spoilers, but I will say that his new cut makes Furqan smile and turns heads at school. Way to be bold!

        While there's nothing quite like holding a book in your hands or sharing it aloud, there's something equally special about getting to hear the author. Listen to Liu-Trujillo read selections from the book in his book trailer (there is even barber shop action!).

        You can see more of Liu-Trujillo's art at his website, opens a new window.

        And because we're all about the value added (and we love books!), here's another great hair-related title:

        Happy Hair
