    Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards. A superbly illustrated original story about the power of loving yourself and finding happiness.

    This is the story of Anastasia, a cockroach who dreamed of being accepted and becoming famous and important like her distant relatives the Egyptian beetles, sacred insects that everybody treated like royalty.

    Although it may seem impossible to believe, in another life Anastasia was a princess, transformed by a wave of the magic wand of Fairy Brunilda, who was determined to sow good wherever she went.

What prize did Fairy Brunilda have in store for her as a reward for her generous actions?

La vida en palacio no le gustaba demasiado, y tras vivir emocionantes aventuras, comprendió que lo de ser una cucaracha normal y corriente no estaba tan mal. Sobre todo cuando, movida por su enorme corazón, fue capaz de salvar la vida de una familia enterita de seres humanos, ¡y sin despeinarse un...
