Gr 2-4–The town of Orbanilla is planning a party. The highlight of the festivities will be the reveal of a new flag in white, red, and green. The party planning committee can think of none other than Amalia for the task, as she is the best seamstress in town. With certain variables unaccounted for, Amalia must start over as soon as she thinks she has finished. Will the flag be ready in time? This story speaks to the fact that sometimes our expectations are not met, and that we must meet disappointments with flexibility, grace, and creativity.
VERDICT A good choice for Spanish-language picture books collections.
