Old Clothes for Dinner?!

When Grandma announces she's making ropa vieja for dinner, Magaly panics—she thinks that means her actual clothes are about to be cooked! In a race against time, she scrambles to hide every piece of clothing she owns before Grandma's pot boils over. This warm, funny picture book playfully explores language, family traditions, and Cuban cuisine, showing how a simple misunderstanding can turn into a delightful adventure. Young readers will giggle along as Magaly learns the truth about this beloved shredded beef dish and the love behind her grandmother's cooking.
