The lyrical realm of The Koala Who Could meets the island life of Galápago Girl/Galapagueña in a story of how fear can get in the way of dreams taking flight.



When island breezes arrive, albatross chicks know it’s time to fly away and say, “¡Adiós!” But Waverly isn’t ready to leave the Galápagos. Worry keeps this seabird grounded until Waverly finds the courage to take off and explore the open ocean for the first time.



Told in rhyme, the story introduces children to creatures along the equator, Spanish phrases, and concepts of anxiety, mindfulness, and empathy.
