In the Neighborhood

A silly and sweet picture book about neighbors, community, and making new friends where you least expect it.

A group of neighbors never talks to one another because they've all made assumptions about each other. Camila the chicken's house is too noisy, Mr. Martínez the fox seems so straight-laced, Felipe the mouse is nervous, and Pepe the ogre-well, you know about ogres. But one day, Mrs. Paquita's internet connection goes out. That starts a domino effect of neighbors helping neighbors. And soon everything has changed.
