"Grandma Monona always made the best empanadas for Mami's birthday. But this year Monona is in heaven and Mami is sad. Her birthday won't be the same without Monona. Star and Sebi know they need a special birthday surprise to cheer up Mami. Maybe they can make Mami Monona's empanadas themselves! But will they be able to capture the same magic as Monona's empanadas if they don't know her secret ingredient?"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
Sweet or savory. Fried or baked. Little pockets filled with love and a taste from home. Grandma Monona always made the best empanadas for Mami's birthday. But this year Monona is in heaven and Mami is sad. Her birthday won't be the same without Monona. Star and Sebi know they need a special birthday surprise to cheer up Mami. Maybe they can make Mami Monona's empanadas themselves! But will they be able to capture the same magic as Monona's empanadas if they don't know her secret ingredient? From Yamile Saied Mendez (acclaimed author of Where Are You From? and What Will You Be?) and Sara Palacios comes a moving and heartfelt picture book about the ways in which we carry those we've lost with us always--in pockets of love.
