Summary
On her first day of school in a brand-new country, a gift from Mexico alights on María’s windowsill: “¡Una mariposa!”
And with the butterfly, in comes magic.
Filled from her toes to her new butterfly wings with memories of home, María knows exactly who she is. But when everything at school is different and strange, doubt begins to fade María’s confidence away. The place she comes from, the community she loves, the magic inside her … does any of it really belong in her new life in the United States?
With courage and compassion, Karla Arenas Valenti confronts the most difficult moments—and feelings—of being new, sweeping listeners up in a powerful celebration of the magic we each contribute to the world.
