Colombian girl who stars in this playful, abundantly illustrated series.
Juana loves many things: drawing, living in Bogotá, Colombia, and
especially her dog, Lucas, the best amigo ever. She does not
love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math problems, or
learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that
makes so little sense? Hilarious, energetic, and utterly relatable,
Juana will win over los corazones (the hearts) of readers everywhere.
