Alma: "“A Gift For Granny"”

Granny Isa: i¡Wepa!

i¡Así se baila, Alma!

Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh!

i¡Así se baila asi!

Alma: I'm good, but check out Granny Isa's moves.

She's great!

Granny Isa: Uh huh Uh huh Uh Uh Uh Uh huh!

Mami: Ven, Almita, we gotta run to the store!

Alma: Okay!

Gotta go. Mami's cooking dinner tonight.

Granny Isa: What's she making?

Alma: Chicken adobo.

Granny Isa: Mmm! Pollo adobado. My favorite!

Wish I could be there with all of you.

Alma: Me too.

Love you!

Miss you!

Granny Isa: Miss you more!

Granny Isa: Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!

Alma: [blows kiss] Mwah!

[Train rumbles by]

Mami: Just gotta pop in for some garlic.

Can't have tasty adobo without it.

Alma: How you doin' Ladli?

Harper: [giggle] Ladli: [meows]

Alma: Harper!

Harper: Hi Alma.

Alma: Whatcha up to?

Harper: I'm looking for cookies.

Alma: Uh?

They're right in front of you.

Harper: [giggle] I mean I'm trying to decide which cookies to pick.

Alma: Go with these.

These are way, way, wayyy delicious!

Harper: Mmm, I like those.

But the cookies are for my dad.

Alma: Your dad?

But, isn't he on an Army base in Germany?

Harper: He is.

Alma: So, how are you going to get them to him when he's really far away?

Harper: I'm sending him a care package.

Alma: What's that?

Harper: It's a box you send to people you care about.

And you fill it with things that remind them of you and your family.

See?

My mom helped me print pictures of us.

And Grandma Jean got him a puzzle book.

Alma: Wow, great idea!

He's going to love getting your care package!

Harper: I think so too.

And now I'm looking for a treat to send my dad that reminds him of me.

Hmm.

I know!

Peanut butter chocolate cookies!

My dad and I had these in the park before he left.

He said they were the best cookies he's ever had.

Alma: Oh, those look good.

Harper: Mhm!

Even though he's far away, these will remind him of me.

Monica: [whistles]

Harper: Coming, Mom!

Bye, Alma!

Alma: Bye, Harper!

Huh. Granny Isa is far away too.

So I can make a care package for her!

This is one of the sa-weetest ideas I've ever had!

Mami: ♪ It's time to make adobo, adobo, chicken adobo, '‘ey 'ey '‘ey! ♪

Alma: ♪ It's time to make a package, a package, a care package, '‘ey 'ey '‘ey! ♪

But first, I need to find a box.

Mami: ♪ It's Chicken adobo night; ♪

♪ Grind the garlic, add the spice! ♪

♪ That's how you'll get your chicken right! ♪

Alma: Hi Mami!

Bye, Mami!

Mami: Oh, HI! Bye!

Papi: [humming]

Alma: Papi, can I have one of those boxes, ¿por favor?

Papi: Take your pick. I have plenty!

Alma: I'll take this one, Papi!

Papi: Great choice! That's a solid box.

Alma: i¡Gracias, Papi!

Papi: [humming]

Papi: Oooh! [box falls]

Alma: Okay. What should I put into Granny Isa's care package?

Hmm. It's gotta be something that will remind her of me.

Hmm...

Maybe something we did when she was here...

[gasp] I got it!

Last time we read this book together.

And I've already read it a bunch. So, it's perfect!

Now, I gotta find things that remind Granny of the rest of my family.

Junior!

Junior?

Junior: Yup?

Alma: Oh!

What was the last thing you did with Granny Isa?

Junior: Oh that's easy!

We played construction dinos.

Right, Steggie?

Junior: [Steggie voice] That's right Junior!

Alma: Hey!

Do you think Steggie would want to go on a trip to see her?

Junior: Ooo!

Mhm! Mhm!

We say yes!

Mwah! Have fun with Granny Isa!

Alma: [Steggie voice] I will!

Junior: Don't forget to call me when you get there, Steggie!

Alma: Whoops!

Mami: Woah!

Alma: Mami, what do you like to do with Granny Isa when she visits?

Mami: Oh, we love to chat.

I mean, we can talk all day.

And when your Tía Gloria is around, we can talk all night!

Alma: And she means all night!

Mami: We also love to eat when we're together.

It's always pasteles, and mint chocolate chip ice cream!

[chuckle]

Alma: Is that why we always have some in the freezer?

Mami: Un-huh!

Last time we finished the whole pint, in one chat!

[chuckle]

Alma: Okay, thanks, Mami! Mami: Oh! [chuckle]

Alma: Ice cream and pasteles!

This will remind Granny Isa of Mami for sure.

Oops! Almost forgot.

Ice, to keep it all cold.

Yee-uh!

Uhh!

I'm gonna need a bigger box.

Papi,

Can I have that box, ¿por favor?

Papi: Solid choice. It's all yours.

Alma: i¡Gracias!

Oh, hey, Papi!

What did you and Granny Isa do together the last time she was here?

Papi: Hmm.

Oh! We watched a baking competition on TV.

One baker made a cake so tall we thought it would fall!

Alma: Thanks Papi!

Papi: [chuckle]

Alma: Hmm.

Hm.

The TV is way way wayyy too big to send.

But!

I can send her the remote!

This will remind Granny Isa of Papi and the show they watched together.

Chacho: [playful whine]

Alma: Hey! Abuelo's sock!

That would remind Granny Isa of him!

Ven, Chacho.

Chacho: [playful growl]

Good, boy! Now, drop it.

Uff! Eergh! ¿Por favor?

Ew, doggie drool.

Well, this will remind Granny of Chacho too!

Looks like everything's here.

Sa-weet! Granny Isa's care package is ready!

She's gonna love it!

Papi: [humming]

Alma: Papi, can we go to the post office?

Papi: i¡Seguro! What do you need to send?

Alma: This!

Papi: Oh!

Uh, Is your box leaking?

And why is it cold?

Alma: Umm.

Junior: Can I have Steggie back? I miss him.

Abuelo: Oof!

Has anyone seen my other sock?

Mami: The chicken adobo will be done in time to watch the baseball game!

Umm. Where's the remote?

Alma: Uh-oh.

I tried to pick things that would remind Granny Isa of our family.

But I think I made a mistake.

I gotta think about this...

Papi: Uh, is your box leaking?

And why is it cold?

Alma: Huh. The ice and the ice cream melted.

So those were mistakes.

Junior: Can I have Steggie back? I miss him.

Abuelo: Has anyone seen my other sock?

Mami: Umm. Where's the remote?

Alma: Oh! And I packed stuff that people need.

I probably shouldn't have done that.

Hmm. But the book was a good idea!

That would remind Granny Isa of me.

Ah! I know what to do!

Here's all your stuff.

Papi: Is this why the box was leaky and cold?

Alma: Yeah.

Junior: Steggie! I missed you.

Abuelo: Ahhh! My sock!

Alma: Since Granny Isa misses us, and we miss her...

I wanted to make her a care package.

Mami: Aw, Almita, that's a great idea!

She's gonna love that!

Alma: But I picked the wrong things to send.

Oh, I know!

Can you help me find the right things?

Abuelo: You got it! Junior: Yes please!

Mami: Of course, Almita! Papi: i¡Claro que si!

Papi: But let's put this back in the freezer first eh?

[chuckle] Ay-ay ay.

Junior: Look! It's Granny Isa with Steggie!

Alma: Nice!

Junior: Ooo!

Mami: Ah!

Alma: Mmm.

[camera clicks] Great!

Ready?

[camera clicks]

Abuelo: Chacho!

[camera clicks]

Mami: Mhm. Ah-ha! [high five]

Alma: Uh?

Papi: Great choice! Now that's a solid box.

[family laughing]

Granny Isa: Almita, Junito, están lindos!

Junior: It's you with Steggie!

Granny Isa: Uh! So good!

Y Lulú these cookies!

Mmm. Tastes just like when we make them together!

Mami: [chuckle]

Granny Isa: Alma, this care package is amazing!

It's like having a little bit of all of you with me.

i¡Mil gracias!

Alma: De nada.

Care packages are a great way to show you care.

And ice cream is a great way to get...

Aah! Brain freeze!

What's going on?

I gotta think about this...

I thought they would have a great time playing each other.

Rafia: Right cone!

Alma: They are the World's Greatest Soccer Players.

Rafia can bounce the ball off her foot and kick it in the air!

Beto can run backwards with the ball!

I kept telling them about each other to get them excited about the game.

Rafia: Beto sounds really good at soccer,

like, maybe better than me?

Beto: [gulp] Are you sure I'm as good as her?

I didn't notice that before.

They kinda looked nervous before the game.

Ohh. I see what I did.

And, I know what to do!

Hey Rafia, Beto, team huddle.

Junior: [blows whistle]

You heard her.

Team huddle!

Beto/Alma/Junior/Rafia: [laugh]

Alma: It's okay if you don't want to play soccer anymore.

Rafia: Maybe we can just kick the ball around?

Beto: Now that sounds like fun!

Junior: [blows whistle]

You heard us! Just fun soccer time!

Beto/Alma/Junior/Rafia: [cheer]

Rafia: Left cone!
