WITH LOTS OF LOVE

Bilingual narrator Marisa Blake's voice is full of warmth; it pairs perfectly with this beautiful story of familial love. It is Rocio's birthday. She is in a new home in a new country. Now living in the U.S., she misses her old home in Mexico with her abuela and extended family. Rocio misses the grocery store that Abuela owns. She misses the colorful homemade piñatas, chiles, and sweets--the small things. Little does Rocio know that Abuela has a birthday surprise planned for her even though she is far away. Blake's voice is like warm sunshine, making this audiobook a delightful listening experience. Children and adults will enjoy this story with its colorful descriptions and Blake's tenderness.
