Genre: Picture Book
Summary: This story is about a hispanic family that is taking a trip to visit their abuela who currently lives on the other side of the United States and Mexico border. Maria and Juan are excited to see their abuela, and so they both make gifts to celebrate La Posada Sin Fronteras. It has been over 5 years since they have last seen their abuela. As their time to visit comes to an end, they forgot about the gifts. Maria ends up having to mail her gift, however she finds a way to get her little brother Juan’s gift over the border to their abuela.
