Welcome, Lupe

In mid-January, a new family of hares arrived in the forest. They were all very happy. All of them… but one. Lupe, the youngest, was very embarrassed to leave the house and meet the other inhabitants of the forest. What if the other hares didn’t like her?

Welcome, Lupe is a wonderfully illustrated work that tells us about the importance of showing ourselves to the world just the way we are.
Lupe’s family is new to the forest. All the hares are very happy, all of them… except Lupe. She is ashamed to make herself known. What if the others hares don’t like her? She will work hard knitting costumes, creating a series of disguises. Her grandfather helps her realize that the other animals will like her just the way she is.
What if the solution is just to be yourself?
