Life at school is never easy. But if they also call you Filthy and you can't tell anyone you're Julia, everything becomes much more complicated. Maribel Carrasco, one of the most outstanding voices in children's theater, presents us with a harsh and uncondescending reality in Beautiful Julia. Julia tells us her own story: the story of a trans girl who stands up to school bullies, parents, and teachers, to accept herself as she is.
Maribel Carrasco, in an interview during her participation in the National Meeting of Theater Made by Girls and Boys (Mexico), said: "We don't have to believe that we're going to educate or teach something, but rather find the point of communication between them and us. One of the challenges we face when working with children is finding a way, with them, to read the world—that is, not just our own interpretation, but a shared one, in which we can find new narratives to interpret reality."
With this book from the International Collection, ASSITEJ makes available to children, young people, and adults a new text that will help us confront and understand the world around us. ASSITEJ has also published Maribel Carrasco's work, *Los cuervos no se peinan*.
