Overview

★ Beautiful illustrations based on the bilingual children's book -Vicki and A Summer of Change! ¡Vicki y un verano de cambio! ★

"You're never too young to make a difference!" Valentina says. Together they discover they can help change their community and the world. The bilingual English/Spanish book is for children 5 to 8 years old.
