Every evening in Havana, Cuba, a young girl named Coqui eagerly waits by her window for Emilio, the Peanut Man. When he cries out, "¡Maní! Peanuts!" the two friends exchange their special, silly greeting. But Coqui's world changes forever when her family must leave their beloved home and move to the cold, unfamiliar city of Atlanta, Georgia. She tearfully promises Emilio that she will never forget him. As the years pass, Coqui learns a new language, adjusts to her new life, and becomes a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Sadly, the memory of her old friend begins to fade. But on her birthday, a surprise trip to a baseball game brings an unexpected familiar scent and a voice she thought she would never hear again! This heartwarming story beautifully captures the journey of an immigrant and the magical connections making a new place feel like home.
