Hasta ahora el cumplea os de Carmela no puede ser mejor. Hoy es lo suficientemente mayor para acompa ar a su hermano en su recorrido por la ciudad. Y la tarde que pasan juntos se llena con la magia de lo que ven a su alrededor:
desde el brillante sol de los campos hasta las golosinas en la vidriera de la panader a. Pero cuando recoge un diente de le n que crece en el concreto, se pregunta qu otra cosa podr a desear ... y decide entonces salir en busca del deseo perfecto.
En esta nueva colaboraci n, Matt de la Pe a y Christian Robinson, galardonados por su trabajo en ltima parada de la calle Market, que gan la Medalla Newbery y Menci n de Honor Caldecott por la edici n en ingl s, han creado una oda, conmovedora y actual, al coraje de los so adores y al poder de la esperanza.
