Elena's Serenade

Elena wants to be a glass blower, but her dad says that she is too little and only boys are glass blowers.  Elena takes off on a journey to become a glass blower.  She meets different animals along the way.  She has brought a pipe with her and makes music as she travels and helps the animal.  

This book has BEAUTIFUL illustrations and the writing is lyrical.   Possible themes are overcoming obstacles, helping others, finding your strengths, and achieving your goal.  I highly recommend this book!
