Chavela loves chomping
chicle—chewing gum. And she loves blowing bubbles even more. One day, while out with her
abuelita, she finds a mysterious kind of gum she’s never seen
before. She pops it in her mouth and blows a giant bubble that lifts her up into the air! It carries her on a journey more magical than any she could ever imagine.
Luscious, candy-colored paintings illustrate this fantastical story with an ecological twist. An afterword provides information on natural chewing gum, the rainforest, and sustainable
farming, as well as music to a traditional Latin American folksong.
