Description

Una hermosa historia sobre una niña que aprende sobre una linda tradición familiar y el simbolismo detrás de la coronas mexicanas de flores, de la mano de dos creadoras ganadoras del premio Pura Belpré.

Hoy es el cumpleaños de Corina y está emocionada porque lucirá la corona más grande con las flores más hermosas recogidas del jardín de su abuela. Cada flor cuenta una historia especial sobre quién es Corina y el arraigo que tiene a su familia y su herencia.
 
Con elegantes y llamativas ilustraciones de la artista galardonada Elisa Chavarri, esta encantadora historia nos sumerge en el viaje de autodescubrimiento de una niña que, al aprender sobre una tradición, está sobre todo aprendiendo sobre sí misma.
