La Mala Suerte Is Following Me -- Ana Siqueira, Hardcover

In this fun picture book romp about superstitions, can Miguel learn to make his own luck--and be rid of La Mala Suerte--before it's too late?

Miguel's abuelita warned him that opening an umbrella in the house will bring La Mala Suerte (Mrs. Bad Luck) who will follow him wherever he goes, and now Miguel's life is ruined! He trips, fails an exam, and he can't block a shot to save his life at soccer practice. Nothing he tries works to get rid of Mrs. Bad Luck--looking for a four-leaf clover, his aunt's "existential" oils... Now what? Using integrated Spanish words and playful language, La Mala Suerte Is Following Me takes a silly and heartfelt look at superstitions.
