This could be a good one for kids who are missing someone they don’t get to see as often anymore. It shows fond memories of that person, how they can still stay connected, and making new long distance memories together.
Didn't really like this book. I was a bit confused at times and didn't understand why the main character kept "seeing" a black bear.
"Rocio had a new home. But she really missed her other home..." Rocio misses her old house and her extended family, especially Abuela and her small grocery store, where piñatas hung from the ceiling. Rocio misses different foods, the sweet milky coffee Abuela made her, and "the pretty song of her language" (accompanied by a lovely illustration of Rocio being tucked in under a blanket of words and phrases in Spanish). On Rocio's birthday, her Mamá, Papá, and brother and sister sing "Las Mañanitas" and present a box from Abuela, labeled "Con mucho amor," and containing many of the things Rocio misses: a star-shaped piñata, fresh tortillas, and a framed photo of her family in front of Abuela's store. That night, Rocio blows a kiss all the way to Abuela.

north, following the tracks of La Bestia and risking everything, including their lives, to reach the U.S. border.
Desperation permeates the pages, as Sanchez's richly drawn characters confront the lack of legal options and the undaunted hope of those compelled to attempt the journey.
