In Día de helado, Henrique and Eli head to the ice cream shop on a hot day. When Henrique drops his cone, Eli kindly offers to share hers. This sweet story models sibling love and problem-solving in a way that feels natural and warm.

The book also includes a nonfiction ¿Sabías qué? section featuring fun facts about casts, how ice cream is made, and how to play hockey-blending literacy with knowledge-building and curiosity.
