Winner of four International Latino Book Awards in 2020, this bilingual picture book, written by Leticia Ordaz and published by Cielito Lindo Books, was inspired by a real adventure!
When a tropical storm swept away the author’s sons’ kite, Mr. Macaw, the kindness of a small Mexican village brought it back. That heartfelt moment sparked a story full of community, adventure, and the magic of unexpected friendships.
