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.

Perfect for children ages 5-10, Yesenia's Adventures & Dress-Up Day with Leiliana is ideal for families, classrooms, and libraries. It is especially meaningful for children who learn differently or express themselves through creativity, making it a wonderful resource for encouraging confidence and self-expression.

This heartwarming story celebrates family, creativity, and the unique ways children see the world. With playful humor, colorful scenes, and themes of resilience and joy, it inspires young readers to embrace their imagination as a superpower.

The first book in the Yesenia's Adventures series, this title is perfect for parents, teachers, and caregivers searching for:

  • Children's books about imagination and creativity
  • Stories that celebrate sisterhood and family bonds
  • Books for neurodiverse readers that encourage self-confidence
  • Fun, engaging read-alouds for ages 5-10

If your child loves dressing up, pretending, and turning everyday moments into adventures, they'll fall in love with Yesenia and Leiliana.
