It's the first day of fourth grade!

Lupita and her family have just emigrated from Mexico and settled into their new home in the United States of America. Maral, a bit of a know-it-all, looks across the playground and notices the new girl in town.

What follows is the birth of a friendship, the merging of cultures, and all that comes with these sorts of things!

Throughout the pages of Maral & Lupita: A Celebration of Friendship, you will find how friendships are born, nurtured, challenged, and celebrated!
