“Trumpets, trombones, tubas and saxophones sing louder, faster, faster, louder! It’s CARNAVAL!”

It's time for Carnaval and Clara cannot wait to celebrate her favorite holiday with family, especially with her great-grandmother. Even if Bisa can't attend, Clara knows the Carnaval parade will still be special. Costumed lovingly by their bisa, everyone takes to the street for the annual parade. But even among all the colors, costumes, music, and dancing, something is missing . . . or is it someone? With lush, lyrical text and bright, colorful illustrations, this book takes readers to one of the most exciting holidays of the year and reminds us that no matter who or where you are, love is always worth celebrating.
