In the vein of Thank You, Omu! and Bilal Cooks Daal comes a lyrical
and nourishing tale about the importance of food to a
community--and value of community to the experience of cooking--as
told through the eyes of a young girl helping her tía. Every
Saturday, Carina visits Tía Mimi in her barrio, which is always
humming with life. There is música that hums from the windows, old
cuentos floating on the breeze, and the honking of cars that
creates the soundtrack of the morning. Every Saturday, she loves to
make empanadas with her aunt, singing: "I like empanadas! I like
you! ¡Me gustan las empanadas! ¡Me gustas tú!" Not this Saturday
though. This Saturday, Tía Mimi has gone to volunteer at the
neighborhood food center and asks Carina to collect the ingredients
all on her own. But maybe, with a little guidance from friends,
Carina will be able to help Tía Mimi--and learn a little about
what connects a community along the way.

In this powerful story of resilience and hope, one girl observes
her community through the changing rhythm of each season. In a town
once vibrant but now affected by unemployment and food insecurity,
one girl watches the seasons go by. Winter’s rhythm brings hearty
soups. Spring’s rhythm brings soft breezes and pale yellow
afternoons. Through it all one tree is her steady, generous friend.
From acorns and dried leaves, to crocuses, to views of the sky and
stars, the tree brings her gifts each season. This soothing and
inspiring read uses the rhythms of nature as a metaphor for
strength, change, and hope.
