Sweet or savory. Fried or baked. Little pockets filled with love and a taste from home. Grandma Monona always made the best empanadas for Mami´s birthday. But this year Monona is in heaven and Mami is sad. Her birthday won´t be the same without Monona. Star and Sebi know they need a special birthday surprise to cheer up Mami. Maybe they can make Mami Monona´s empanadas themselves! But will they be able to capture the same magic as Monona´s empanadas if they don´t know her secret ingredient? From Yamile Saied Méndez (acclaimed author of Where Are You From? and What Will You Be?) and Sara Palacios comes a moving and heartfelt picture book about the ways in which we carry those we´ve lost with us always--in pockets of love.
