Bookroo's summary

Fernando and his family stumble upon a vibrant kite festival in San Vicente. With stores closed, they must craft their own kite using found objects. As they face challenges, their creativity shines. What surprise awaits them at the festival's end, delivered by the mayor himself? Discover a heartwarming tale of family, ingenuity, and unexpected joy.

From the publisher

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.
