A joyous, colorful, multicultural book about a little boy in desperate search of paletas on a hot summer day. He sprints past adults selling tamales, Korean BBQ, and a bike repairman. Finally he finds the man selling cool refreshing treats. A lively and dynamic rendering of community with a sweet (pun intended) lesson at the end about how it pays to be kind. And there's a boppy song to go with it.
