Carmela Full of Wishes

Adapted by Alvaro Saar Rios
Based on the book by Matt de la Peña illustrated by Christian Robinson

Directed by Adam Flores

¡Feliz cumpleaños! It’s Carmela’s birthday, and she’s finally old enough to tag along with her big brother while he runs errands. As they journey through their vibrant neighborhood, past familiar sights like the busy bus stop, the local repair shop, and the panadería, Carmela discovers a single dandelion growing in the pavement outside the Laundromat. But before she can blow its delicate seeds into the wind, her brother reminds her of the importance of making a wish. If only she could find the perfect wish…  

From the creators of the beloved Last Stop on Market Street, Carmela Full of Wishes reminds us that the dreams we hold closest are rooted in family, cultural tradition, and the strength we find in community.

Best enjoyed by ages 5 and up.
