Elena's Serenade

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ana Juan. Elena, a Mexican girl, wants to be a glass blower like her father, but he rebukes her: "Who ever heard of a girl glassblower?" Undeterred, she dresses like a boy and travels to become an apprentice, where her work is a success, until she's ready to face (well, sort of) her father. The story is as unique and endearing as Juan's commanding acrylic and crayon illustrations. Glos.
