Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or adjusting to a parent's increased work schedule. It provides a gentle bridge for children who are mourning the loss of old routines and feel isolated in a new environment. The story follows Emi, who misses the weekly churro-making tradition she shared with her Papi and extended family. When Papi becomes too busy with work in their new city apartment, Emi takes the initiative to recreate the tradition by reaching out to her new neighbors. It is a heartwarming exploration of resilience, community building, and the way traditions can evolve without losing their heart. This is an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who need to see that 'new' doesn't have to mean 'lonely' and that family bonds can stretch to include a new community.
