A little girl pitches in to help her tia save up for a car and take the whole family to the beach. Tia Isa quiere un carro brillante que sea del mismo color verde del oceano. Pero el dinero no alcanza, sobre todo porque lo que ganan se divide en dos partes: una para gastar aqui y otra para enviar a la familia que vive lejos, con la esperanza de verse algun dia nuevamente.Mientras tia Isa raciona el dinero, su sobrina trata de ayudar con los ahorros en su propia forma. Pero podran ahorrar lo suficiente para un carro? While Tia Isa wants to save money for a car that will take the whole family to the beach, her niece does odd jobs for neighbors. But it's hard to save enough when half the money is set aside to bring family members who live far away to join them someday. Meg Medina's simple, genuine story about keeping in mind those who are far away is written in lovely, lyrical prose and brought to life through Claudio Munoz's charming characters.
