Karla Areneas Valenti’s MARIA MARIPOSA is a newly-arrived Young Mexican immigrant who not only misses home, but takes on a new city and school without the facility of language or the support of all that she has known in the home which she’s left. But carrying this magic within helps Maria when a butterfly reminds her of her memories. The book has a beautiful blending of English and Spanish and Ana Ramirez Gonzalez’s art has warmth and enchantment for readers as well rendered beautifully by both author and illustrator.
