La vida de Celi Rivera es un torbellino de preguntas... por los cambios en su cuerpo, por sentirse atraida por un chico por primera vez y por la exploracion que hace su mejor amiga de lo que significa ser genero fluido.

Pero, sobre todo, por la insistencia de su madre en hacerle una ceremonia lunar cuando le llegue su primer periodo. Se trata de un ancestral ritual mexica que Mima y su comunidad han rescatado, pero Celi se promete a si misma que NO participara en el. ¿Encontrara dentro de si la fortaleza necesaria para defender quien quiere ser?

Celi Rivera's life swirls with questions. About her changing body. Her first attraction to a boy. And her best friend's exploration of what it means to be gender-fluid.

But most of all, her mother's insistence she have a moon ceremony when her first period arrives. It's an ancestral Mexica ritual that Mima and her community have reclaimed, but Celi promises she will NOT be participating. Can she find the power within herself to take a stand for who she wants to be?
