About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is hitting a wall with a new skill or complaining that school subjects feel useless in the real world. Juana is a vibrant young girl living in Bogota, Colombia, who loves her dog, Lucas, but absolutely detests learning 'the English.' She finds it confusing and unnecessary until a surprise trip to Spaceland (Disney World) provides the spark she needs to see why being bilingual matters. This charming chapter book uses a mix of humor and heart to validate a child's frustration while gently pivoting toward a growth mindset. It is perfect for early elementary readers, offering a warm look at Colombian culture and the universal struggle of finding motivation for hard tasks. Parents will appreciate the way it celebrates heritage while encouraging global curiosity.
