About the Book

The money jar that Rosa, Mama, and Grandma filled with their coins will be emptied to buy Rosa whatever she wants for her birthday. But what can Rosa choose that's special enough—unless it's a gift they can all enjoy!

A beautiful celebration of family and the joy of togetherness—a companion book to the beloved Caldecott Honor picture book A Chair for My Mother.

"A sensitive depiction of a warm and loving family. A visual and emotional treat." —School Library Journal
