Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'shies' or feels like their voice is too small to make a difference. It is an ideal pick for children navigating a dual-language identity or those who feel a deep, quiet passion for the natural world but struggle to speak up in a busy classroom. Through the relatable Stella Diaz, children learn that being brave doesn't mean the fear goes away, it just means finding a reason that is bigger than the fear itself. In this installment, Stella faces the daunting task of a school presentation while simultaneously trying to save the oceans from pollution. The story beautifully balances the pressures of elementary school life with the pride of Mexican-American heritage. Spanning approximately 200 pages with charming illustrations, it is a perfect bridge for 7 to 10 year olds who are ready for more complex emotional themes but still appreciate a gentle, supportive narrative voice.
