Lucía, la luchadora, de Cynthia Leonor Garza e ilustrada por Alyssa Bermúdez, es un vibrante libro ilustrado que celebra la valentía, la identidad y la herencia cultural. Cuando Lucía corre por el patio de recreo con su capa, los niños le dicen que las niñas no pueden ser superheroínas. Pero su abuela revela un secreto deslumbrante: Lucía proviene de una larga línea de luchadoras, mujeres valientes de la tradición de la lucha libre mexicana. Inspirada por este legado, Lucía se pone una máscara y se convierte en la sensación del patio de recreo. Ante la injusticia, debe decidir si rompe la regla sagrada de las luchadoras y revela su identidad para hacer lo correcto. Con un expresivo texto en español e ilustraciones dinámicas, la historia empodera a niños de 4 a 8 años a abrazar su fuerza, desafiar los estereotipos y defender a los demás.

English Description:

La preocupación de Lucía by Tom Percival is a gentle and emotionally resonant picture book that helps children understand and manage anxiety. Lucía is a joyful girl until one day she discovers a small “worry”—a fuzzy blue puff that follows her everywhere. As she tries to ignore it, the worry grows, making it harder for her to enjoy daily life. When she meets another child with a similar puff, they talk about their feelings, and both worries begin to shrink. With expressive Spanish text and striking illustrations that highlight emotion through color, the story encourages children ages 3–6 to share their concerns and recognize that talking about feelings can lighten emotional burdens. It’s a comforting dual-language resource for exploring mental health, empathy, and emotional expression in early elementary classrooms.
