Magda quiere hacer tortillas en su cumpleaños número siete, y puede recordar cuando era una niña pequeña y miraba a su abuela haciendo tortillas. Habiendo estudiado las técnicas de un maestro, ahora se siente segura de su propia habilidad para producir tortillas hermosas, deliciosas y redondas. Pero de alguna manera el rodillo y el comal de la cocina aún tienen algunas sorpresas para la perpleja Magda y para su familia encantada. El gran arte no siempre es bonito, pero en el caso de la "artista de la tortilla" Magda Madrigal, al menos es sabroso.

 

English Description:

Magda wants to make tortillas on her 7th birthday, and she can remember when she was a little girl and watched her grandmother make tortillas. Having studied the techniques of a master, she now feels confident in her own ability to produce beautiful, delicious and round tortillas. But somehow the rolling pin and griddle still hold some surprises for the perplexed Magda and her enchanted family. Great art isn't always pretty, but in the case of "omelette artist" Magda Madrigal, at least it's tasty.
