Cecilia is on a mission to find the perfect birthday gift for her beloved Tía. With her mischievous cat, Chica, by her side, she explores meaningful options—a cherished mixing bowl or a nostalgic ball from Tía's childhood in Mexico. As Cecilia crafts her surprise, she discovers that Tía has a special surprise for her, too. What heartfelt gifts will they exchange? Dive into this charming tale of love, memories, and unexpected surprises.
From the publisher
Today is Tia’s birthday! Cecilia wants to surprise her great-aunt, her Tia, with a very special present. But what could it be? Could it be Tia’s favorite mixing bowl that she and Cecilia use to make delicious “bizcochos, “ cookies? Could it be a ball like the one Tia played with as a little girl in Mexico? With the help of her mischievous cat, Chica, Cecilia plans the perfect surprise. And Tia has a very special surprise for Cecilia, too!
