With Lots of Love

by Jenny Torres Sanchez Narrated by Marisa Blake

Overview

A beautiful, lyrical story about a girl who moves from her home in Central America to the United States, and everything she leaves behind and longs for-especially her Abuela-as she makes a new life.

Rocio has grown up in Central America, but now she and her family are moving to the United States. Rocio does her best to adjust to a new way of living, but there are many things she misses from her old life-Abuela's cooking, Abuela's pinata creations, Abuela's warm hugs, and of course, Abuela herself most of all. But Abuela finds a way to send Rocio something special just in time for her birthday-a gift wrapped with lots of love-and that fills Rocio to the brim.

Bilingual narrator Marisa Blake’s voice is full of warmth; it pairs perfectly with this beautiful story of familial love. It is Rocio’s birthday. She is in a new home in a new country. Now living in the U.S., she misses her old home in Mexico with her abuela and extended family. Rocio misses the grocery store that Abuela owns. She misses the colorful homemade piñatas, chiles, and sweets—the small things. Little does Rocio know that Abuela has a birthday surprise planned for her even though she is far away. Blake’s voice is like warm sunshine, making this audiobook a delightful listening experience. Children and adults will enjoy this story with its colorful descriptions and Blake’s tenderness.
