A beautiful, lyrical story about a girl who moves from her home in Central America to the United States, and everything she leaves behind and longs for -- especially her Abuela -- as she makes a new life.
Rocio has grown up in Central America, but now she and her family are moving to the United States. Rocio does her best to adjust to a new way of living, but there are many things she misses from her old life -- Abuela's cooking, Abuela's pinata creations, Abuela's warm hugs, and of course, Abuela herself most of all. But Abuela finds a way to send Rocio something special just in time for her birthday -- a gift wrapped with lots of love -- and that fills Rocio to the brim.
