Winner of the 2017 Pura Belpré Author Award
Fans of Judy Moody and Clarice Bean will love Juana, the spunky young
Colombian girl who stars in this playful, abundantly illustrated new
series.
Juana loves many things -- drawing, eating Brussels sprouts, living in
Bogotá, Colombia, and especially her dog, Lucas, the best amigo ever.
She does not love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math
problems, or going to dance class. And she especially does not love
learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that
makes so little sense? But when Juana's abuelos tell her about a
special trip they are planning--one that Juana will need to speak
English to go on--Juana begins to wonder whether learning the English
might be a good use of her time after all. Hilarious, energetic, and
utterly relatable, Juana will win over los corazones -- the hearts
-- of readers everywhere in her first adventure, presented by namesake
Juana Medina.
