| Summary: | A young girl must navigate her promise to be a vegetarian without sacrificing her family's delicious, traditional Cuban food. "On her birthday, Paulina visits a farm where she helps take care of the animalitos, and then returns to a celebratory dinner at Cocina de Nana, her abuela's restaurant. The most famous dish on the menu--and the family favorite--is Cuban beef picadillo, but to the family's surprise, Paulina announces that she's made a promise to herself and the animalitos: not to eat meat. Lively, bright, and flavorful, Picadillo for Paulina celebrates independence, highlights the connection between food and a faraway home, and serves up a satisfying outcome: a version of picadillo that Paulina can eat, that honors tradition--and that makes a delicious addition to the menu at Cocina de Nana"-- |
