In this exuberant picture book about transformation through art,
Mira lives in a gray urban community until a muralist arrives and,
along with his paints and brushes, brings color, joy, and hope to
the neighborhood. What good can a splash of color do in a community
of gray? As Mira and her neighbors discover, more than you might
ever imagine! Based on the true story of the Urban Art Trail in San
Diego, California, Maybe Something Beautiful reveals how art can
inspire transformation-and how even the smallest artists can
accomplish something big. Pick up a paintbrush and join the
celebration! "Simply superb." (Kirkus) Tomas Rivera Book Award *

Seleccionado por la Junior Guild Library !Una DAMISELA al RESCATE!
Criada por un ogro de padre que se come a sus rivales para cenar,
Blancaflor tiene prohibido presumir de sus considerables poderes,

movera cielo y tierra para ayudar al adorable-aunque no muy
listo-joven, intentando que no se entere. Con el magnifico brio que
los caracteriza, Nadja Spiegelman y Sergio Garcia Sanchez ponen al
dia un cuento clasico de America Latina que exalta la fuerza y la
capacidad de las mujeres.
