Young Arturo helps Abue Rosa prepare a traditional meal for Tía Inés's new fiancé. When his grandmother falls asleep, Arturo draws on memories of the matriarch's cooking to finish the meal himself. Warm, homey illustrations enliven this bilingual story and encourage vocabulary development in both Spanish and English. Recipes for some of the story's traditional dishes are included at the end.
