With the charm and spirit of the original, Posada's fresh Spanish rendition shows Lily, the indomitable mouse-girl, as she shines in her role as the assistant to Ginger, the teacher's niece and selected flower girl. Henkes' always-endearing black-ink and watercolor artwork depicting Lily's range of emotions will appeal to young Spanish speakers who will empathize with Lily's initial hopes, brief letdown and happy conclusion: Yo sabía que este sería el mejor día de mi vida (I knew this would be the best day of my life).
