Polisapo está a punto de terminar la escuela y solo piensa en ser policía. Tras numerosas aventuras y descubrimientos, llega por fin, con gran esfuerzo, a la Escuela de Oficiales, pero es rechazado por ser pequeño, gordo, lento y, sobre todo, por su color verde. Polisapo quiere ser policía, sí, pero no a costa de cambiar el color de su piel, del que se siente orgulloso. Escrita por el gran autor paraguayo Augusto Roa Bastos, ganador del Premio Cervantes, esta obra es un alegato conmovedor contra la discriminación y un canto a la aceptación propia.

English Translation

PoliceToad

Polisapo is about to finish school, and all he wants is to become a police officer. After many adventures and discoveries, he finally earns a spot at the Officers' Academy—only to be rejected for being too small, too plump, too slow, and, worst of all, for his green skin. Polisapo dreams of wearing the uniform, but never at the cost of denying who he is. Written by Paraguay's celebrated Cervantes Prize-winning author Augusto Roa Bastos, this heartfelt story is a powerful stand against discrimination and a celebration of self-acceptance.
