They dot the sky over her head, playing in the wind, and seeing them, Lupita dreams of having one of her own. But when Lupita approaches her mother about buying one, her mother tells her that they cannot afford one of the beautiful toys. The family needs to save all of its money for school supplies and other must-haves. The kite remains in Lupita's mind, until with the help of her father, Lupita hatches a plan to make her very own. Finally, Lupita has a chance to let her dreams take flight.

Just before Uncle Chente arrives, mother nature threatens to rain out all their summer fun. The kids panic at the prospect of Uncle Chente's arrival on a rainy day.

In the tradition of their previous collaboration, Family, Famiia, illustrator Pauline Rodriguez Howard and Gonzales Bertrand bring children aged 3 to 7 a story about family bonds so strong that even a rainy day makes the perfect picnic.

Once in the United States with his father, though, Chuy is surprised to find that life is more difficult than expected.
