Benito's Sopaipillas

When Cristina helps her grandmother make sopaipillas, a traditional Mexican bread, she learns about her great-grandfather through a family story. Long ago, her great-grandfather used a clever scarecrow to help end a terrible drought in their village. The tale of how he created the first sopaipilla while solving this problem has been passed down through generations. This picture book blends a present-day cooking scene with a historical legend about family, ingenuity, and tradition.
