Description: "A young girl waits with growing anticipation for plantains to ripen so her mother can prepare them for Sunday dinner"--
Review Quotes: "Delectable prose and jewel-toned illustrations come together as a young narrator counts down until a bunch of plantains are ripe enough for eating....The suspense yields a satisfying ending ("One week behind me./ One plate before me."), as Aguilera uses rich, saturated colors to create a domestic world filled with flowers and produce, amplifying the sensory-rich storytelling."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
