About

Camila the Painting Star by Alicia Salazar follows a young girl who loves expressing her creativity through paintings of her beloved abuela (grandmother), particularly scenes of her cooking with love. 

When a local bakery displays Camila's artwork and customers begin purchasing her paintings, she feels proud and excited about her growing artistic success. However, her confidence is shattered when a classmate cruelly criticizes her paintings, calling them ugly and making Camila question her artistic abilities. Discouraged by the hurtful remarks, Camila considers giving up painting altogether, despite the happiness and personal meaning it brings her. As she struggles with self-doubt, she must learn to value her own creativity rather than allowing someone else's negative opinion to determine her worth. 

Through Camila's experiences, the story explores self-esteem, resilience, artistic expression, and the importance of pursuing personal passions despite criticism. Featuring colourful illustrations, accessible language, and Spanish vocabulary, the book celebrates family connections, cultural identity, and the courage to believe in oneself.
