Little Jesús

Today, little Jesús has a big job to do. He’s helping Papá at work, and he’s in charge of the water jug—which is also a magical clock! When it’s empty, Papá explains, the workday is done. But what about all these thirsty animals? Soon, the water is gone, but the day is not over yet. Will Jesús be fired?! Or is the jug not really magical after all?

In this highly anticipated companion to Pura Belpre Honor winner Papá’s Magical Water-Jug Clock, little Jesús gets a new and very important job: caring for Mamá’s beloved houseplants. From sharing his best jokes with the grumpy Cactus to dancing with the beautiful Peace Lily, it's going great—until the Golden Pothos, Mamá's favorite, crashes to the floor! How will Jesús get out of this one? When Jesús gets home after school, he has to fill the time until Mamá can take him outside to play. It's tough, until Mamá appoints him Chief Plant Officer.
