<div><div><div><b>Lucía the Luchadora named one of the Best Books of 2017 by <i>NPR</i>, <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, <i>Chicago Public Library</i> and more! </b>Lucía zips through the playground in her cape just like the boys, but when they tell her "girls can't be superheroes," suddenly she doesn't feel so mighty. That's when her beloved abuela reveals a dazzling secret: Lucía comes from a family of luchadoras, the bold and valiant women of the Mexican lucha libre tradition. Cloaked in a flashy new disguise, Lucía returns as a recess sensation! But when she's confronted with a case of injustice, Lucía must decide if she can stay true to the ways of the luchadora and fight for what is right, even if it means breaking the sacred rule of never revealing the identity behind her mask. A story about courage and cultural legacy, <i>Lucía the Luchadora </i>is full of pluck, daring, and heart.</div><div></div><div></div><div><div><b>Praise for Lucía:</b></div><div>NPR Best Books of 2017</div><div>Kirkus Best Books of 2017<br />Chicago Public Library Best Picture Books of 2017<br />Evanston Public Library List of 101 Best Books for Kids 2017</div></div><div>ALA's 2018 Amelia Bloomer List for best feminist books for children</div><div></div><div></div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div>
