To them, California is home now, even though they were born in Mexico.  But as the family drives to their hometown through festive villages and sun-kissed landscapes, Carlos and his sisters discover there’s magic in their roots and that—whether in Mexico or California—home is where the heart is:  with one’s family. \u003cp\u003e | \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A lovely journey home for Mama and Papa and their children, and for readers, a journey to understanding.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A veritable feast for the eyes, this south-of-the-border treat stirs the soul as well.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublisher's Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887382491365,"sku":"NP9780060262969","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780060262969.jpg?v=1730226012","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/going-home-a-christmas-holiday-book-for-kids-isbn-9780060262969","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
