Kids: Susana Illera Martínez

If we were all the same, the world would be a very boring place. Respect, empathy, and the importance of family support. These three fundamental messages are colorfully conveyed in this story for children and adults of all ages.

A small lizard, who seems to have it all, feels nervous about expressing her feelings and admitting to her family that she is different. Lala is no ordinary lizard- she’s a vegetarian! She loves to play by the pond and explore the garden with her spider best friend, Ari. What happens when the two friends decide to venture far away from home? What strange creatures will they meet?

This fun adventure of two inseparable pals invites us to reflect, value our differences, and to remember that our family is our greatest source of support.

This is a bilingual event.
