Isabel and her mother hug Isabel’s Aunt Lupita before they leave Mexico for a new life in the United States. The girl’s gradual adjustment is revealed through a series of letters sent to her much loved and dearly missed aunt. Soft line and richly hued illustrations echo Isabel’s experiences and emotions, including her special “quiet space” made of cardboard boxes.
