Juana and Lucas: Big Problemas

Juana lives with her mami and her perro Lucas in Bogotá, Columbia. Everything is lovely until Mami suddenly has a new haircut. And is wearing perfume. And lots of lipstick.

Suddenly, Juana has problemas. Big problemas.

It turns out that Mami has met Luis. And they are getting married. When Juana learns this, she tells us, “My held melted and became one big chocolate-flavored puddle.”

At eighty-four pages, and with full-color illustrations on each page, this is the perfect early chapter book for children. It's filled with lots of fun Spanish words to provide windows and mirrors for young readers.
