Elena's serenade by Campbell Geeslin

coverillustrated by Ana Juan
Ana Juan is one of our most favorite illustrators (and a terrific author as well) - the kind that makes wonderful art but also seems to consistently team up with terrific authors. This is a beautiful plucky girl story in the magical realism tradition. Little Elena runs away from home and travels to Monterrey where she hopes to learn to blow glass like her father. Along the way she discovers she has a special talent.
