Tía Isa wants a car so that she can drive her niece to the beach. This story, narrated by the unnamed niece, is about Tía Isa's dreams, but it's also about the dreams of immigrant families who are often separated for financial reasons, working to be reunited. Just as in the English version, this Spanish edition speaks to the emotional experience of immigration.
