Overview
Isabel hopes all her birthday wishes will come true. She's been dreaming of a big party full of her friends and all her family with a giant piñata and cake.
On the big day, Isabel shares her hopes with Mamá, but her mom says that they will have a small fiesta with just family this year. When Isabel tells Abuelo how every birthday needs a piñata, he explains that store-bought piñatas are expensive. Isabel starts to think that it doesn't even feel like her birthday! Will there even be cake? Abuela reassures her there will be.
But disappointments keep popping up, and a mix-up at lunchtime spells disaster for the rest of the day. Is there anything that can save Isabel's birthday?
