Publisher Description:
Martha, la mejor amiga de Amalia, va a mudarse muy lejos. Y Amalia se siente triste y enojada. Sin embargo, aunque la vida parece injusta, las sabias palabras cari osas de su abuelita la ayudan a sentirse un poco mejor. Amalia disfruta el tiempo que comparte con su abuela: cocinando, escuchando cuentos y m sica y aprendiendo de la familia mientras miran las tarjetas que la abuelita atesora en una caja de madera de olivo.

Pero cuando una nueva p rdida sacude la vida de Amalia, nada tiene ya sentido. Podr descubrir Amalia, a pesar del dolor, que especial es, aun si quienes ama ya no est n a su lado?
