Una historia sobre la importancia de la amistad en la vida de una niña inmigrante. La niña de este relato se ha mudado hace poco, con su familia, de México a Brooklyn. El primer día en su nuevo colegio, conoce a una chica norteamericana con la que se entiende de maravilla. Se vuelven mejores amigas. Pero cuando invita a su nueva amiga a cenar en casa con su familia mexicana, le da la impresión de que la chica se siente incómoda. Tal vez no le gusta la comida. O peor aún, tal vez la canción preferida de la familia —una melodía llena de añoranza y nostalgia— le parece demasiado extraña. Algo parece haber cambiado y ella ya no se siente segura como antes. ¿Cómo será el día siguiente en la escuela? La renombrada autora Elisa Amado cuenta lo difícil que es venir de otro país y lo importante que es sentirse apreciado por lo que uno verdaderamente es. El galardonado ilustrador Alfonso Ruano representa de manera hermosa los profundos sentimientos de las amigas.
