In a touching, delightful blend of English and Spanish, and poetry and prose, this little tale by author Clementina Llanes of A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate blog, brings to life what ensues when a father who doesn't have much to give, presents his daughter with the best gifts ever--the love of family, a belief that with a little imagination surprising things are possible--and good food! Written for parents who love to read to, and bake goodies, with their children. Includes an authentic and delicious Mexican pumpkin empanadas (turnover) recipe to bake with your own little Paloma, plus a helpful glossary of Spanish words and phrases.Sarah D.
