In this warm-hearted sequel to How Tía Lola Came to Visit Stay, Miguel and Juanita are adjusting to life in small-town Vermont without their father. Meanwhile, the principal asks Tía Lola to teach Spanish at school. With easy-to-understand Spanish phrases sprinkled throughout the text and Dominican adages heading each chapter, Alvarez invites everybody into this welcoming family and community.
