Ernesto is finally a niño grande, old enough to walk to school by himself. Each morning, his mom hands him a quarter and says they’re for emergencies—only for the pay phone if he needs to call her. But every day is full of temptations—baseball cards, sizzling tamales, arcade games… How will Ernesto choose to spend his quarters? Carlos Matias delivers a playful, vibrant book about city life and growing up.
