"Elena and Miguel's parents don't live in the same house anymore. Now the kids live in two, Mami's during the week and Papi's on weekends. "At first," Elena says, "it felt like I left half of me behind each time I changed houses. And it didn't feel like family anymore." Elena wonders if Rico the cat misses Papi; surely, he too senses the change. At the movie theater, only three share the big tub of popcorn. The kids help their mom pick the oranges off the tree, something their dad used to do. On weekends, Papi makes pancakes for them, but they're not quite like the ones their mom makes. "It doesn't feel like family anymore." Gradually, the siblings begin to adjust to their new lives. At birthday parties, they're surrounded by relatives and "in the circle of cousins, it felt like family again." And when all four grandparents and both parents cheer Elena on at her soccer game, their obvious pride in her feels even better than the points she scored. "It feels like family!" This bilingual picture book for young readers explores a difficult subject experienced by many children--divorce and the resulting changes in their lives--while highlighting the importance of relationships with extended family members."--Publisher provided description.
