Overview
Luna and her little brother, Sol, are back for another adventure —this time with a GIANT tortilla!
“A giant tortilla opens the door to a celebration of imagination, family, and cultural heritage....A solid choice.”—School Library Journal
After their aunt Sofía accidentally makes a giant tortilla, Sol and Luna discover that it has a special magic with the power to be a cape, a placemat, a scarf, a blanket, and even more importantly—a way to bring back the memory of someone special.
Meet Tia Sofia — the “cool aunt” who creates wild art and loves dancing in her cozy California bungalow. One day, while babysitting her niece and nephew, things get out of control while preparing fresh tortillas in her colorful kitchen.
Distracted by dancing with her niece and nephew in the kitchen, Tía Sofía makes a giant tortilla so big that Luna sees an opportunity for an adventure. Exhausted by a day of laughing, coloring, ghosts, and broomsticks, Luna and Sol finally enjoy lunch with their favorite aunt and her little dog, Tamayo.
This sweet semi-bilingual story includes a seek-and-find of animals commonly found in traditional Mexican folk art and includes a recipe for Tía Sofía’s flour tortillas!

This semi-bilingual series called Mi Hermosa Familia (My Beautiful Family) highlights the small and beautiful moments found throughout Latino communities, told with a dose of magical realism. All books include an interactive seek and find.
Also available, Nana Lupita and the Magic Sopita
