Pet parrot Perico knows how to say "Let me help!" He repeats this statement as his (human) family members prepare for the San Antonio Cinco de Mayo festival. They shoo him away, but to everyone's surprise he eventually finds a way to help. Warm-hearted illustrations--from a bird's-eye view--support the family-centered text, printed in both English and Spanish.
