By (author): Jose Pelaez Lynn McGee

Illustrated by: Bianca Diaz

Jessica and her mom, Camila, must live in their cousins crowded apartment until Camila finds work making holiday decorations and they can afford their own place. Isolated on the playground and baffled in class, unable to understand her teachers instructions, Jessica is intensely homesick. But little by little, things get better. She begins to learn English, and she loves the cats she and her mom care for to earn extra money. Left behind by traveling owners, the cats make the best of their situation, inspiring Jessica to do the same. See more
