{"product_id":"el-empacho-de-isabel-isabels-tummy-ache","title":"El Empacho de Isabel \/ Isabel's Tummy Ache","description":"\"I went to Cuba to meet my grandma Macurí,\" Isabel tells her classmates when asked about her summer. It was a long trip that involved two planes, a guagua--or bus, a train that carried everything from sugarcane to calves, and even a horse-drawn cart. Finally hugging her Abuelita was the most beautiful moment of her life! Grandma made a cake to celebrate her birthday--and all the others she had missed--and Isabel ate three pieces! The party continued the next day with lots of delicious food, including a mango, oranges, watermelon and an entire pineapple! No wonder that by nightfall, Isabel's tummy hurt! But her grandmother's special jar of hugs and kisses, combined with a gentle massage, healed the girl's aching belly. Drawing on his own memories, Julio Molinete writes about traveling to a rural village in the mountains of Cuba and the natural healing methods practiced there. Lively illustrations by Claudia Navarro depict the joy of reuniting with far-flung family. This bilingual book for children ages 5-9 will surely encourage them to write about their own summer adventures and time spent with family--while also serving as a cautionary tale against overeating!","brand":"Pinata Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47326877679668,"sku":"9781558859982","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8638\/5972\/files\/imageloader_9cd51c90-e92e-4f78-9d28-193cb3cc8083.jpg?v=1765249537","url":"https:\/\/worldcaribbeanbooks.com\/products\/el-empacho-de-isabel-isabels-tummy-ache","provider":"World Caribbean Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
