But Abuela's visit can't last forever, and all too soon she's packing her suitcases again. Then Dulce has an idea: maybe there are things she can gather for her cousins and send with Abuela to remind them of the U.S. relatives they've never met. And despite having to say goodbye, Abuela has one more surprise for Dulce--something to help her remember that home isn't just a place, but the deep-rooted love they share no matter the distance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatalia Sylvester is an award-winning author of the young adult novels \u003ci\u003eBreathe and Count Back from Ten \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eRunning\u003c\/i\u003e and the adult novels \u003ci\u003eEveryone Knows You Go Home \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eChasing the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e.
