Una niña conoce a más parientes de los que puede contar, pero ¿cómo se comunicará con ellos si no puede hablar español con la misma fluidez?

A little girl meets more relatives than she can count—but how will she communicate with them if she can’t speak their language?

(edición en español)
Es el primer viaje de una niña al país natal de su papá, y ella está impresionada con los paisajes maravillos, los sonidos sorprendentes ¡y especialmente con el tamaño de su enorme familia! Pero sabe solo un poco de español y le resulta difícil compartir chistes y anécdotas con fluidez. Por suerte, sus parientes la ayudan a ver que hay otras maneras de relacionarse. Pronto la niña siente que está justo donde en el corazón de una familia amorosa, aprendiendo mientras crece.

Fortunately, her relatives help her see that there are other ways they can connect, and soon she feels like she’s right where she in the heart of a loving family, learning as she goes along.
