MARIA AND THE MAGIC OF THE RAINBOW is the story of Maria, a courageous, pre-teen, orphaned, one-wing butterfly who escapes enslavement by a cruel and powerful fire ant. She is swept up in an adventure that brings new friends, but also peril and pain, that leads her to poignant and important life lessons as she triumphs over adversity, discrimination and bullying, and evolves into a role model for tolerance, understanding and forgiveness.
