Juana's life is just about perfect. She lives in the beautiful city of
Bogotá with her two most favorite people in the world: her mami and her
dog, Lucas. Lately, though, things have become a little less perfect.
Mami has a new hairdo and has been spending a LOT of time with a new
amigo named Luis. He is kind and teaches Juana about things like
photography and jazz music, but sometimes Juana can't help wishing
things would go back to the way they were before. When Mami announces
that she and Luis are getting married and that they will all be moving
to a new casa, Juana is quite distraught. Lucky for her, though, some
things will never change--like how much Mami loves her. Based on
author-illustrator Juana Medina's own childhood in Colombia, this
follow-up to the Pura Belpré Author Award-winning Juana & Lucas is
sure to resonate with readers of all ages.
