Wepa: English & Spanish
Age Level: 6-9
Language: Spanish, Spanish (Bilingual Eng/Sp)

Her mom thinks she is too messy; her teachers think she is too loud. But Abuela says that’s nonsense. Mia Emilia Lucia Renata simply has too much wepa! In this case, wepa is a metaphor for Mia's fire, her energy, or what is better known medically as ADHD, and how it's often misunderstood by family and loved ones. Mia tries to bottle up her wepa, but no matter how hard she tries, she can’t contain it.
