    About this audiobook

    Luisa resents that she has to spend so much time doing chores to help her mother. She feels as if her mother doesn't understand that she would rather be playing with her friends than working around the house. Then her mother finds a note she wrote as a little girl to Luisa's grandmother. The note gives both Luisa and her mother insight into each other's feelings and leads them to make an agreement regarding the chores that is satisfying to both of them.
