The fly admires the bee and wants to help her. She knows that the bee is very important and that she is always busy doing things. The fly wants to be a good friend and help, but some things are not easy for her. She gets confused, and this frustrates the bee. Will the fly be able to help her friend?

This sweet and funny Level 1 book is perfect for those who are beginning to read in Spanish. But what makes it truly special is its message: the fly is dyslexic. The author is dyslexic too, and she wrote this story so that dyslexic students can feel seen, understood, and proud of the way they learn, and so that all readers can discover that there are many different ways to understand the world.

Information for Teachers

¿Qué mosca te picó? is part of the Por si las moscas collection, a series of eight books created especially for students who are just starting their reading journey in Spanish, written by Adriana Ramirez and Margarita Pérez García. These books are ideal for Free Voluntary Reading (FVR) or as class novels in Levels 1 and 2. Additionally, collections with continuity—such as Por si las moscas—are especially valuable for neurodivergent students, because familiar characters and connected stories give them a sense of security and motivation to keep reading.
