ESPERANZA CARAMELO...
On the eve of Nochebuena, a spark of magic lights up Lita’s bakery. Esperanza Caramelo opens her eyes. Esperanza is a sugar figurine meant to sit atop the Nochebuena cake—but tonight she whirls through the bakery, singing and dancing, throwing a fiesta with all the other ornaments until . . . disaster strikes!
A Christmas cake emergency ensues, and time is running out, Will Esperanza and her friends be able to save Nochebuena?
Gorgeous illustrations by Elisa Chavarri.
Coming September 12, 2023 from Knopf.
