Josephina Hates Her Name
Josephina's namesake, Great-Aunt Josephina, was an adventurer, explorer, and artist who, unlike Josephina, followed her heart and went to explore the Great Jungle, leaving behind a gold locket. Many years later, Josephina's grandmother remembers the locket and with it finds the courage to move to the United States and find her own adventure.
