    Ten-year-old Memo learns that his beloved Abuelita has died. Grieving and dismissed by his mother and sister, Memo tries to find Abuelita’s hidden stash of candy, but instead is led by Abuelita’s spirit on a journey through her memories as a girl in Mexico and a young immigrant in the United States.

    Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas. A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them. One grows flowers; the other raises vegetables. One was born in the U.S., the other in Mexico. One speaks English, the other Spanish. Their differences have kept them so far apart that even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement—until the resulting mariposa/butterfly, and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.
