Bound To Stay Bound

Booklist - 05/01/2025 In this heartwarming tale of family, tradition, and the power of community, Emi, a young girl who has just moved to a big city with her busy dad, finds herself missing their Friday churro-making tradition. With no family nearby and her dad always working, she fears the tradition may be lost. But when she smells something sweet coming from her neighbor Señora Luisa’s apartment, Emi decides to take action. Through a charming series of events, Emi enlists the help of her neighbors to gather ingredients and tools, recreating the cherished tradition in her new home. The story beautifully highlights how food can bring people together, turn neighbors into friends, and keep memories alive, even in unfamiliar places. With delightful illustrations and a warm, inviting tone, Fridays Are for Churros is a joyful celebration of resilience, kindness, and the bonds that form when people share what they have. A wonderful reminder that no matter where you are, family and community can always find a way to come together. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
