“Paws y Palabras” tells the story of Natalia, the daughter of immigrants who was born and raised in Canada and refuses to speak Spanish, her parents’ language. But everything starts to change when she plays with her friends at the park and discovers that words hold a special kind of power. Natalia begins to reconnect with her roots and learn the language her parents love so much.
“Paws y Palabras” is a story full of discovery, friendship, and identity.
