Charlie and Carlitos are cousins or primos. They like to write letters to each other because Charlie lives in America and his cousin lives in Mexico. Their lives are very different and they each share their daily experiences; from riding a bicicleta (bicycle) and playing futbol (soccer) to watching break dancers and playing basketball. As they both come to the end of their letters, they each have a great idea. All pages have fantastic illustrations that incorporate real images as textures and demonstrate the Spanish language used in the story.
