They do everything together and even live in twin apartments across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi, and cat. But not after today-not after Evelyn moves away. Until then, the girls play amid the moving boxes until its time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medinas beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchezs colorful and vibrant depictions of the girls urban neighborhood.
