This bilingual picture book portrays the close bond between father and son. The son speaks both English and Spanish, but his father only speaks Spanish. Since the father only speaks Spanish, Spanish words and phrases are used throughout the text.
Although they have differences in communication, they spend the day together, creating new dishes, laughing, exploring, and enjoying each other. Lastly, the story then ends with a visit to Abuela and Abuelo, his paternal grandparents who also show them how much they are loved with a hug.
