A girl travels with her father to another country to visit extended family, gradually finding connection despite a language barrier. Inspired by the author’s visits to Honduras, this story captures the wonder of discovering a place that feels both new and like home. Mixed-media illustrations bring to life bustling mountain streets, a lush coffee farm, and warm family moments. English and Spanish blend seamlessly in this heartwarming tale celebrating cultural identity and the deep bonds that transcend words.
