Empanadas for Everyone

Every Saturday, Carina visits Tía Mimi to make empanadas together, but today her aunt has gone to volunteer at the neighborhood food center and asks Carina to collect the ingredients on her own. With help from neighbors across the barrio, Carina learns that community is the secret ingredient. This is a delicious choice for students because it wraps a lesson about generosity and neighborhood bonds inside a warm, music-filled story.
