Every Saturday, Maria Lili looks forward to making chicken sancocho with
her grandparents Mama Ana and Papa Angelino. But one Saturday they
discover that there is nothing in the house except eggs, and Maria Lili
wonders how they will ever be able to have their favorite meal. Mama Ana
has a plan, though, and taking the eggs with her, she invites Maria Lili
to come to the market. Somehow, Mama Ana has a way to make chicken
sancocho with eggs, and Maria Lili can't wait to find out how.
Bold, cheerful watercolors evoke the busy atmosphere of the village
markets of Central and South America. Also included in the book is a
recipe for chicken sancocho from the author's family.
