Luzía

Picture
​
Luzía is the story of a firefly whose world turns upside down after losing her firefly glow while fending off a hairy scary
spider.
 Without her glow, the night transforms into a place she no longer feels safe. Feeling scared and different, Luzía, seeks permission from a Queen bee to live in her hive with the other bees, while she adapts to being without her family and without her light. 
​
How does Luzía cleverly transform herself from a firefly into a bee? Will she ever be able to reunite with her firefly community?
​
This story, intended for children ages 4-8, fosters the idea of overcoming adversity with creativity and courage, emphasizing the values of racial acceptance and the primacy of family. 
The tale of Luzia’s journey is both educational and delightful, filled with a youthful sense of anticipation, adventure and ultimate triumph.
