Book Overview

by Jenny Alvarado (Author)

A girl and her dad move to a new town. And she's determined to keep their traditions, no matter how busy Daddy is! A fun story about family, food, and good neighbors!

Every Friday, Emi and her Papi made churros for the entire familia. Now in their new apartment in the big city, Papi is always working, and there are no churros, and no familia, on Fridays. Until, Emi smells something sweet and delicious coming from her neighbor Señora Luisa's apartment.

Emi has an idea! Maybe she can make churros after all, with a little help. From Señora Luisa, she can borrow flour. Tomas in 312 has sugar. Marisol in 512 has a piping tip. Soon Emi's apartment is filled with the scent of fresh churros, new foods, and new friends!

A story of food and community, Fridays Are for Churros celebrates old traditions becoming new, and strangers becoming friends.
