La luz de Lucía, de Margarita del Mazo, ilustrada por Silvia Álvarez, es un luminoso libro ilustrado sobre la confianza en uno mismo y la fuerza interior. Lucía, la luciérnaga más pequeña de su familia, anhela brillar como las demás e iluminar el bosque; pero cuando finalmente llega su momento, el miedo la frena. Con el cariñoso apoyo de su familia, aprende a confiar en sí misma y a abrazar la luz única que lleva dentro. Para los educadores bilingües, este cuento ofrece una forma poética de explorar temas de autoestima, valentía y crecimiento emocional, a la vez que fomenta la lectoescritura bilingüe y el vocabulario expresivo en las aulas de español-inglés.
