Lucia The Luchadora

Lucia The Luchadora Series written by Cynthia Leonor Garza, illustrated by Alyssa Bermudez. Lucía zips through the playground in her cape just like the boys, but when they tell her "girls can't be superheroes," suddenly she doesn't feel so mighty. That's when her beloved abuela reveals a dazzling secret: Lucía comes from a family of luchadoras, the bold and valiant women of the Mexican lucha libre tradition.
