Rosa's First Day / El Primer D a de Rosa Manchas' Happy Llama Club - Book 2
Every identity is a superpower. Even on the day you feel the most unsure of yours.
Rosa is starting at Oro Valley Elementary - new school, new faces, new everything. Her stomach is full of butterflies, and her voice feels smaller than usual.
But Juan is waiting by the flagpole. Manchas the spotted llama - who is absolutely not supposed to be at school - shows up anyway, causing exactly the kind of chaos that makes nervous feel a little less lonely. Somewhere between the chaos and the courage, Rosa finds her voice.
