Elena wants to be a glassblower like her dad and when she goes to ask her Dad if he can teach her he says no. Elena goes out of her way to go on a journey and learn from someone else. She goes to Monterrey and gets taught. Then comes back in disguised as a grown up to show her dad her new glassblowing skills and tricks him. This is great to show a class because of the beautiful illustrations and the hilarious story

A sweet and inventive book with nice illustrations full of surprises the kids love to pick out. A kind, brave, feisty, clever heroine.

I loved how in this story, Elena proved that to be false.… (mais)
