Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant barrio, a young girl shares the magic of paletas, the beloved Mexican popsicle. As the tinkling bell of the paleta wagon echoes, children face the delightful dilemma of choosing between strawberry or coconut. With each bite, they create memories and masterpieces, savoring the simple pleasures of a warm summer's day. What adventures await with each paleta?

From the publisher

As she strolls through her barrio, a young girl introduces readers to the frozen, fruit-flavored treat that thrills Mexican and Mexican-American children. In this bilingual paperback edition, discover the joys of a paleta–the traditional Mexican popsicle treat sold from the wagon with the tinkly bell that brings children running from every direction. Create a masterpiece, make tough choices (strawberry or coconut?), or cool off on a warm summer’s day–there’s so much to do with a paleta.
