Maria's Mysterious Mission


maria-dup-cover-for-web 
by Claudia Cangilla McAdam
illustrated by Anna-Maria Crum
photography by John Fielder

Far from her native South America, Maria the llama is homesick. When she sets off on a mysterious mission with a heavy pack on her back and a heavier weight on her heart, she forges a new friendship and comes to see her life in Colorado through very different eyes.

A charming tale about finding one’s way in a new place, Maria’s Mysterious Mission will appeal to anyone who has ever moved far from home or had to face the challenge of doing something different.


An imaginative collaboration between an award-winning children’s author, an extraordinary illustrator, and a nationally-renowned nature photographer. Readers will have fun discovering on each page where the illustration stops and the photography begins. See if you can figure it out in this sample from the book:
