When Art's father can't get over a cold, Art knows exactly what his daddy needs: some delicious sick-fighting juice! After looking through the fridge and cupboards, they discover they're missing a key ingredient--ginger.

"""Fun, fast-moving story with likable characters. . . Urquijo-Ruiz's translation does a wonderful job of bringing this tale to Spanish-speaking audiences, as they'll delight in watching Art and his papi problem-solve and make the tastiest, healthiest juice. The story focuses on how community members come together to help one another heal, from Art's stepdad to the local market vendors, who all share juice at the story's close."" -- Booklist"
