Bookroo's summary

A young girl urgently needs a bathroom as her family drives away. Racing through town, she faces fountains and long lines, but will she make it in time? Her quest turns into a delightful adventure, blending Spanish and English, and ends with a surprising twist—a family meal filled with laughter and limonada. Can urgency lead to unexpected joy?

From the publisher

It happens all the time. As soon as the car pulls away, someone needs the bathroom.Where is un bano? Donde esta? I really do need one,” I told mi mama.After racing around town, passing a gushing fountain, and cutting the inevitable line for the ladies’ room, this adorable little girl makes it to the bathroom in the nick of time. And because the bathroom is in a restaurant, the family stays for a wonderful meal-and lots of limonada. . . .Buoyant illustrations and a clever mix of Spanish and English combine to capture the urgency and humor of the situation to the delight of kids and grown-ups alike.
