| Publisher Description: Commended Lists - Américas Book Award, Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs A Mexican American girl looks for the perfect birthday gift for her sister and ends up with a big surprise of her own. In Spanish. It's the day before her older sister's birthday, and five-year-old Lori is determined to find her own gift to give. This year, Lori decides, she doesn't want to sign her name to everyone else's present. But it's not easy shopping for the perfect gift. Even though Lori knows what she would want, none of the wonderful things she sees at the Mercado seem quite right. Little does Lori know that the best, most perfect gifts sometimes come to us when we least expect them. Translated from The Birthday Swap, Qué sorpresa de cumpleanos! is a warm-hearted tale about the joys of giving and receiving. Loretta Lopez celebrates family love and togetherness through her affectionate prose and fun, colorful illustrations. |
