Description
Publisher's Description of Juana & Lucas: Big Problems by Juana Medina
Juana’s life is just about perfect. She lives in the beautiful city of
Bogotá with her two most favorite people in the world: her mami and her
dog, Lucas. Lately, though, things have become a little less perfect.
Mami has a new hairdo and has been spending a LOT of time with a new amigo
named Luis. He is kind and teaches Juana about things like photography
and jazz music, but sometimes Juana can’t help wishing things would go
back to the way they were before. When Mami announces that she and Luis
are getting married and that they will all be moving to a new casa,
Juana is quite distraught. Lucky for her, though, some things will
never change—like how much Mami loves her. Based on author-illustrator
Juana Medina’s own childhood in Colombia, this follow-up to the Pura
Belpré Author Award–winning Juana & Lucas is sure to resonate with readers of all ages.
