Description
In a warm, humorous coming-of-age story, a young boy’s excitement for a family celebration collides with the everyday chaos of cooking, community, and growing up. As plans go awry and responsibilities pile up, he navigates small setbacks and big feelings, learning what it means to help, belong, and keep going when things don’t turn out as expected. With vivid, accessible storytelling and a distinctly Soto voice, the book captures the texture of family life—where tradition, pride, and love are served alongside laughter. At its heart, it’s a celebration of culture and resilience, exploring themes of family bonds, identity, and the lessons found in ordinary moments.
