La luz de Lucia

Awarded in the United States at the Gellet Burgess Awards - Society and Culture and at the International Latino Book Awards in 2016. A story about how important it is to shine as brightly as possible with the light that we all carry inside and that makes us unique.
Lucia is the youngest in a family of fireflies. She wants to shine like the others do, but she's too small to light up the forest. Finally, one night, after waiting and waiting, Lucia's time comes. It's finally ready! She'll be able to go out and light up the forest with her companions, but something stops her.

The next night, when it's time to leave, Lucy's excitement wears off and she doesn't want to leave home. Thankfully, her family supports and encourages her to shine and trust herself no matter what. Being aware of one's talent is difficult, but we must remember that we are unique and have a lot to share!
