"When Mamacita chose to call me Estrellita, / it was her
way of imagining a little bit / of starlight, deep down in
that cavern / where only rare streaks of day or night /
could reach--now, Lucero and I will be / Morning Star and
Little Star, / a lit-from-within racing team "


A young girl stricken with rickets and her mother
face the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, the
challenges of a new century and innovative teachers.
Dreams realized and dreams crushed exploring the
freedoms only a magical horse can offer.
Award winning author Margarita Engle brings a tale of
history mixed with a touch of fantasy.


"Cuando Mamacita decidiO nombrarme Estrellita / fue
su modo de imaginar un poco / la luz de las estrellas, en
el fondo de esa cueva / a la que solo llegaban / escasas
luces del dIa o de la noche. / Ahora Lucero y yo seremos
/ el caballo del alba y la pequeNa estrella: / un equipo de
carreras iluminado por dentro "
Una chica joven lisiado con ricketts y su madre enfrentan
las secuelas de la Guerra Hispano-Americana, los desafIos
de un nuevo siglo y profesores innovadores.
SueNos Realidad y sueNos aplastados explorando las
libertades sOlo pueAden ofrecer un caballo mAgico.
Autor galardonado Margarita Engle trae un cuento de
historia mezclada con un toque de fantasIa.
