What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

One Sunday morning, Fernando Florez, his parents, grandparents, and sister head to a random destination for an outing – San Vicente. When they arrive in the center of town, they see many people preparing for a kite festival. The Florez family waste no time joining in the fun. Unfortunately, all the stores are closed, so buying a kite’s out. But by using their ingenuity – along with found objects – they successfully put one together. Although they encounter some challenges along the way, they can always find a solution with a little thinking. A surprise comes at the end of the day, with the mayor of San Vicente on hand to deliver it. A warm family story set at a festival much like one Leyla Torres attended as a child in her native country of Colombia.
