"Say hola."

Ava hid behind Mamá.

How was she supposed to speak with so many eyes staring at her?

Ava Gabriela and her parents are visiting relatives in Colombia for the holidays. Ava's excited to make (and eat!) buñuelos and help build el Año Viejo with her cousins. But being in a new place surrounded by noisy and unfamiliar relatives makes Ava Gabriela as quiet as a mouse. Will Ava find her voice and join in on all the New Year's fun?
