Mam� always sighs, "Muy, muy chica," every time Lupita tries to help out at the restaurant that Mam� runs all by herself. But when push comes to shove--or when Grabb comes to swipe--everyone in this exciting tale discovers that, although Lupita may be too little for some tasks, she is big enough for others.
With vivid illustrations by Enrique O. S�nchez that delightfully enhance the story, Big Enough / Bastante grande evokes the yearning for growing independence of every child. This entertaining, action-filled tale will have children and adults alike panting for breath as they try to keep up with Lupita, racing along toward an exciting conclusion.
