Juana & Lucas
Juana Medina
Juana, a girl living in Bogotá, Colombia, talks about the people and things that matter to her: her dog Lucas, her city, her abuelo, her friend Juli, drawing, and even Brussels sprouts. She also has strong feelings about her itchy school uniform and about starting to learn English. Hoping to avoid the work, Juana asks people she trusts why it is worth learning. A coming family trip to Florida, where she hopes to meet Astroman, gives her a reason to try. Spanish words appear throughout the English text alongside diagram-like color illustrations.
