“Cleverly written and laugh-out-loud funny, this infinitely re-readable picture book is ripe with social-emotional learning opportunities around misunderstanding, as well as serving as a warm welcome into Cuban culture” – Barnes & Noble
Magaly loves the yummy Cuban food her Abuela has been cooking since arriving from Havana, but when Magaly’s sweater goes missing, she discovers that Abuela is making ropa vieja for dinner. Old clothes for dinner? Yuck! Now Magaly must hide the rest of her clothes before her family eats them up. A silly story of misunderstandings!
