Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards. A superbly
illustrated original story about the power of loving yourself and
finding happiness.
This is the story of Anastasia, a cockroach who dreamed of being
accepted and becoming famous and important like her distant relatives
the Egyptian beetles, sacred insects that everybody treated like
royalty.
Although it may seem impossible to believe, in another life Anastasia
was a princess, transformed by a wave of the magic wand of Fairy
Brunhilda, who was determined to sow good wherever she went. But being a
princess is not an easy task... Soon Anastasia began to feel out of
place. She didn't like life in the palace too much, and after following
exciting adventures, Anastasia came to understand that being an
ordinary, everyday cockroach wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Especially when, moved by her great heart, she managed to save the lives
of an entire family of humans, everything without getting a hair out of
place! What prize did Fairy Brunhilda have in store for her as a reward
for her generous actions?
