Ryan's fondest memories are of big noisy family gatherings at her
grandmother's house, filled with her parents, siblings, aunts, uncles,
and her 23 first cousins. "My grandmother lived in a tiny house and
we all happily squeezed into her tiny kitchen, which was often fragrant
with enchiladas and red mole, and of course rice and beans." Illustrator
Joe Cepeda remembers every birthday party from his childhood looking
and feeling just like the one in this book. Also available in Spanish.
