Sinopse
A heartfelt adapted-for-audio picture book based on the author-illustrator's own experiences, about a boy who moves to the US mainland from Puerto Rico and realizes that New York City might have more in common with San Juan than he initially thought.
Miguel's pet frog, Coquí, is always with him: as he greets his neighbors in San Juan, buys quesitos from the panadería, and listens to his abuelo's story about meeting baseball legend Roberto Clemente. Then Miguel learns that he and his parents are moving to the US mainland, which means leaving his beloved grandparents, home in Puerto Rico, and even Coquí behind. Life in New York City is overwhelming, with unfamiliar buildings, foods, and people. But when he and Mamá go exploring, they find a few familiar sights that remind them of home, and Miguel realizes there might be a way to keep a little bit of Puerto Rico with him - including the love he has for Coquí - wherever he goes.

“Perez lavishly portrays San Juan and New York City with beautiful artwork and crafts a tale that is sure to ring true to many children.”—School Library Connection, starred review
“Perez draws upon his own childhood experience of moving from Puerto Rico to Ohio, capturing the emotional experience of moving, adjusting, and remembering one’s culture and origins. Bright, bustling cartoon illustrations offer readers plenty to look at as they take in the two distinct cities alongside Miguel.”—Booklist
“The happy and positive message that not all new beginnings are to be feared is a welcome one.”—Kirkus Reviews
