Bookroo's summary

Rocio's world shifts as she moves from Central America to the U.S., leaving behind her beloved Abuela. Struggling to adapt, she yearns for familiar comforts—Abuela's cooking, piñatas, and warm hugs. As her birthday approaches, a surprise from Abuela arrives, wrapped in love, offering Rocio a piece of home. Will this gift help her find her place in a new world?

From the publisher

A beautiful, lyrical story about a girl who moves from her home in Central America to the United States, and everything she leaves behind and longs for–especially her Abuela–as she makes a new life. Rocio has grown up in Central America, but now she and her family are moving to the United States. Rocio does her best to adjust to a new way of living, but there are many things she misses from her old life–Abuela’s cooking, Abuela’s pinata creations, Abuela’s warm hugs, and of course, Abuela herself most of all. But Abuela finds a way to send Rocio something special just in time for her birthday–a gift wrapped with lots of love–and that fills Rocio to the brim.
