María Becomes a Butterfly

By Maria E Chinchilla

Just like the mariposas monarcas, at the age of seventeen, Mar a Chinchilla left everything that was familiar to migrate from Guatemala to New York. In her first published children's book, with pictures and words, Mar a Chinchilla beautifully tells the story of how she weathered tormentas, discovered her superpowers, and finally found a sense of belonging.

This story will resonate with not only young readers who have their own immigration experiences, but also with anyone who has ever struggled to make a new place feel like home.
