Summary

Today is a special day for Francisco. It is his saint day, which means it's time to celebrate with a feast! Francisco is most excited about dessert--delicious mangos, right from the tree. And he is finally old enough to go pick the mangos all by himself. But getting the mangos back home is not easy. THere are lots of bees, and family members with whom to share. When it's finally time for the feast, Francisco has no mangos to offer! But as his papá assures him, "Mi'jo, no hay mal que por bien no venga. Nothing bad happens that good doesn't come of it." This humorous, warm story filled with inspirational and universal proverbs will remind readers that "Es mejor dar que recibir. Sometimes, it's better to give than to receive." --, From dust jacket
