Maria Chinchilla Becomes A Butterfly
Manage episode 418641380 series 3255523
Just like the mariposas monarcas, María Chinchilla left everything that was familiar to migrate from Guatemala to New York at the age of seventeen. In her first published children’s book, Maria Becomes A Butterfly, María 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 experience, but also with anyone who has ever struggled to make a new place feel like home.
