shares her own story of growing up near her family's pineapple farm in

A 2023 Pura Belpré Youth Illustration Honor Book
Growing up on a pineapple farm in Mexico, a girl discovers the true
meaning of the word magic in this truly magical picture book about
change and transformation of all kinds--what we can't control, such as
natural disasters and loss, and what we can. Magic can transform dirt
into pineapples, seeds into trees, wool into blankets, words into
stories, blank pages into pictures and stories into book.
