If you could share one special treasure with others, what would you choose? This heartwarming story is told through the eyes of a young girl struggling with wanting to be accepted.

It’s show-and-tell time in Lupita’s first-grade class. After seeing all the treasures her classmates share, Lupita worries she will not find the one perfect thing. Join Lupita as she searches for, and eventually discovers, something she truly values, giving her an opportunity to share her culture and embrace what makes her unique. In this first book in the Lupita series, by Lola Cruz, children learn a valuable
message about self-acceptance and celebrating what makes them a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Lupita’s Treasure is written for:

• Children of all backgrounds, ages 4-8.

• Parents to explore the concepts of family, culture, and belonging with their children.

• Teachers to help their students recognize the similarities between one another and embrace the differences because, in the end, we are more alike than we are different.

Endearing, enjoyable, and compelling with rich colorful illustrations, this

story will inspire kids to embrace the things about themselves that make

them uniquely special while strengthening what brings us all together as

people!

Readers will smile inside and out after reading this kind-hearted story.

Special thanks to illustrator, Elizabeth Konetz, for beautifully capturing the thoughts and emotions of Lupita and bringing this story to life.
