An LGBTQ book about flies?!?!
This story is SO simple and SO repetitive that it could easily be independently read at the end of a level 1 class.
A fly falls in love with another fly -- and gender is irrelevant because "La Mosca" is the word for all flies. It is overt and deliberate in its celebration of "love is love." I am confident that this is the first pansexual book about flies.
There is a parallel love story between the human couple living in the house that serves as a model for what relationships should look like for flies. It touches on communication issues and how to navigate a first love.
En boca cerrada no entran moscas -- a closed mouth attracts no flies. This book belongs in all libraries, whether or not you as a teacher choose to talk about it. It can fly under the radar as a book about idiomatic expressions in Spanish, but will be understood by the students who most need to hear it. Or it can launch a conversation about the accepting world the author is trying to communicate.
