Yesenia's Adventures & Dress-Up Day with Leiliana is a joyful children's story about imagination, sisterhood, and the magic of play.
Big adventures can begin in the smallest places-like a bedroom filled with costumes, cats, and creativity.
Eight-year-old Yesenia, known as Yaya, is bursting with energy and imagination. On an ordinary Saturday morning, she turns her world into something extraordinary.
With a mermaid tail made from a sparkly skirt, three wobbly crowns stacked high, and a superhero mask tied tight, Yaya becomes a Mermaid-Princess-Superhero! Her teenage sister Leiliana sometimes rolls her eyes, but she always joins in with love, patience, and laughter. Together-with Bug the playful kitten and Peaches the regal older cat-the sisters discover that imagination is a gift, and adventures are brighter when shared.
