Robert Trujillo.
Darío is certain his little brother's birthday will be the worst: all Ariel wants is to eat tacos in the park with their parents. But Darío is pleasantly surprised to find that a low-key party has its own benefits. Despite its overt message, the story, in both English and Spanish, is satisfying. The awkwardly rendered illustrations give the book an amateurish look.
