About This Book
This tender chapter book, narrated by Tía Isa's niece, tells the story of an immigrant aunt's dream to buy a car. The car isn't just for beach trips; it symbolizes freedom and the hope of reuniting with family still in their home country. The niece, observing Tía Isa's hard work and sacrifices, secretly takes on odd jobs to contribute to the savings, demonstrating initiative and deep familial love. It's a gentle exploration of financial literacy, the immigrant experience, and the strength of family bonds.
Tia Isa and her niece try to save enough money to buy a car to take the whole family to the beach.
