Pero un día, todo cambió.
De ser un niño que jugaba con sus amigos en Panamá hasta ser un deportista exitoso con los Yankees de Nueva York, la vida de Mariano se convirtió en algo grandioso que jamás él pensó. Cuando él se para en el montículo no oye a la multitud, sólo oye la voz del árbitro gritando: "¡Strike!". Es el compañero de juego en el que puedes confiar, aun cuando las bases están llenas en la parte baja de la novena entrada. Sea que lo conozcas como Mo o como el "Sandman", Mariano es El cerrador y esta es su historia.
Lleno de consejos para atletas jóvenes y anécdotas del equipo de los Yankees, El cerrador: Edición juvenil es una inspiradora historia de perseverancia, espíritu deportivo y dedicación que han definido la vida de una leyenda del béisbol.

About A CatFish Tale:
A Spanish Translation of A Catfish Tale. It's a very funny story, focusing on friendship and loyalty - about going above and beyond for a good friend, being responsible and learning how to overcome challenges. The characters are delightful and the reader will chuckle at the highly unlikely friendships that are a model for diversity and tolerance.
Discussion questions delve into friendship, responsibility, temptation and geography, and enable parents, educators, therapists and librarians to create a dynamic learning experience from an engaging storyline with whimsical illustrations by Brodsky's talented illustrator, Cameron Bennett. Creative "funtivity" exercises encourage young readers/listeners to put those lessons into action.
