Fini: The beauty of a broken shell is a recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award 2023. Follow Fini the tortoise through the forests of Paraguay as she discovers the unique beauty of native animals and learns to love herself along the way, with a story filled with values. Fearful that no one will befriend a tortoise with a scratched shell, Fini searches for someone to help her. She meets Jack the Jaguar, Boris the Tapir, Tom the Armadillo, Bea the Bee, and Ana the Spider. At last, Ana has the perfect solution. She spins a magical ñandutí, traditional woven lace named for a spider's web. As Ana spins, the animal friends play together. When the ñandutí is completed, Fini is dazzled by the brilliant colors and intricate design, and she learns its magic enhances the inner beauty of the wearer. Fini's scratches are still visible through the lace, but now she can see THE BEAUTY OF A BROKEN SHELL.
