Mia has a homework assignment to think of five words that apply to herself--but when other kids laugh at her she is beset by negative words that buzz about in her brain.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

If you had only five words to describe yourself, what would they be? That's what a young skateboarder named Mia has to figure out in this inspiring picture book story about finding your own inner strength!

Five words, cinco palabras. Teacher says they should fit just right. Like my favourite kicks.

Mia is hunting words todayβ€”five words to describe who she is.

It's easy at first. At the skateboard park, Mia finds words for how she can glide fast and soar high. Words like relΓ‘mpagoβ€”lightning. These words feel good.

When Mia has trouble learning a cool new trick on her board, though, other words come to herβ€”words that won't leave her alone. Words like fail. Are these words really about her, too?

But Mia knows who she is... she's someone who doesn't give up. And if she keeps trying, she'll find her five words, the ones that fit just right.

This book is perfect for:

  • Kids who love skateboarding
  • Parents seeking stories about resilience and growth mindset
  • Anyone looking for picture books that incorporate Spanish words and phrases
