Ana Siqueira Bella's Recipe for Success

Annotation

If at first you dont succeed, try, try again.Bella wants to find out what shes good at. But she quits everything she (barely) tries because shes a disaster at it. Her somersaults are like clumsy jirafas rolling downhill, her piano playing like elephant feet. When she decides to learn how to bake with her wise old abuela, her first attempt at dulce de leche frosting looks like scaly cocodrilo skin. She must learn its okay to try again or she wont be good at anything. Peppered with Spanish vocabulary and set in an intergenerational Latinx home, Bellas Recipe for Success will show all kids the value of practicing to learn a new skill, and that its okay to make mistakes along the way.A recipe for Polvorones con Dulce de Leche is included at the back of the book so kids can have fun making their own.
