About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration over being told they are too small, too young, or the wrong person for a specific hobby or dream. It is a beautiful remedy for the sting of exclusion, offering a magical path toward proving others wrong through dedication and artistic flair. Elena's journey from a small Mexican village to the glassblowing hub of Monterrey is a vibrant exploration of self-discovery and the power of finding one's unique voice. The story tackles themes of gender roles and perseverance with a gentle, folkloric touch. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate their own identities and interests in a world full of 'no.' By the end, parents and children will find themselves discussing how our personal passions can create something beautiful and unexpected, regardless of what others expect of us.
