Arepas for Breakfast Alejandra Rivas Mintz

Arepas for Breakfast is a story about three young girls living in Philadelphia, who miss their Abuela (who lives in Venezuela) very much. The girls' mother is from Venezuela and their father is from New York. Whenever Abuela comes to visit, she makes the girls favorite breakfast -- Arepas. Unfortunately, Abuela only comes when the weather is warm. "Hace frío!" Abuela would say. Fortunately, their father has learned to make the almost perfect Arepa. The only thing missing is Abuela -- or is she?
