A colorful tale of friendship, cultural exploration, inclusivity, and kindness.
It’s the first day of fourth grade! Lupita and her family have just emigrated from Mexico and settled into their new home in the United States of America. Maral, a bit of a know-it-all, looks across the playground and notices the new girl in town. What follows is the birth of a friendship, the merging of cultures, and all that comes with these sorts of things! Throughout the pages of Maral & Lupita: A Celebration of Friendship, you will find how friendships are born, nurtured, challenged, and celebrated!
“A beautiful book that teaches children how to recognize their thoughts and emotions from an early age. It is a story of cultural and self-awareness; of being open to the authentic beauty and complexity of one’s own identity while promoting understanding and appreciation for that of others.”
“La creatividad nace del corazón la paloma, habiéndonos entregado la tinta de su pluma, buscando un nuevo recipiente, una nueva herramienta de expresión trae esta obra.”
