In the vein of Eloise, Olivia, and Fancy Nancy, Carmen is a little girl
with a BIG personality. She loves the spotlight and fame that comes with
being an actress, and she only grudgingly shares attention with her
adoring little brother, Eduardo - especially when the prize is a
starring role in a commercial.
Carmen and her family speak a mix of English and Spanish, inspired the
author's loving exchanges with her father as a little girl.
