Mama is cooking soup as Maria and Pepito watch, when Maria sees a tendril of smoke seeping under the kitchen door. Mama discovers the house is on fire and they all escape. The firefighters battle the blaze but the house is a complete loss except for a family picture and Maria's beloved teddy bear. "The fire came and took our home but it didn't take everything," Maria concludes. A compassionate, not-too-scary treatment of a very scary event. Good for generating discussion and empathy.

The illustrations in this book are lovely. The text moves smoothly from meditative to the intensity of the storm and then back to meditative. Not for every reader, but lovely for quiet moments.
