Beautiful illustrations help tell the story of Elena, a little Mexican girl, who longs to become a glassblower just like her father. “Whoever heard of a girl glassblower?” is her father’s response. Elena leaves home disguised as a boy, determined to go to Monterrey where all the great glassblowers are found. Her journey leads to mystical encounters that help her pursue her dream. Arriving in Monterrey, Elena amazes the local glassblowers with her skills. Eventually she returns home to her once doubting father, and takes her place at his side. (2-5)
