About the Story
When Ada discovers a tiny baby goat in the family’s station wagon, she instantly falls in love. She names her Pepita — a playful nod to the little “pepitas” she leaves behind — and the two become inseparable.
Together, Ada and Pepita explore the hills of Cerro Gordo, listen to the coquí frogs at night, and learn what it means to care for another living creature. Through Pepita, Ada discovers gentleness, patience, and the quiet magic of growing up surrounded by nature.
This book is perfect for:
- Children ages 5–8
- Family read-alouds
- Families who love animal stories
- Readers who enjoy culturally rich, heartwarming tales
- Anyone who cherishes stories rooted in real memories and heritage
Why This Book Matters
Ada and Her Baby Goat, Pepita is more than a story — it is a celebration of:
- Puerto Rican culture
- Childhood innocence
- Emotional growth
- The healing power of animals
- The importance of family stories
It honors the landscapes, sounds, and traditions that shape us — and invites young readers to slow down, breathe, and find comfort in the world around them.
Coming Next in the Ada and Pepita Adventures
The Baby Calf Named Ehcuby Duby
Ada and Pepita’s story continues in Book Two of the series.
One sunny afternoon in Cerro Gordo, Uncle Elmer arrives with a newborn baby calf. With big brown eyes, wobbly legs, and a hungry belly, the little calf quickly becomes part of Ada’s world.
The family names him Ehcuby Duby, a name filled with the warm sound of Ada’s Spanish-speaking childhood home.
With Pepita close by, Ada learns that caring for a baby calf takes patience, courage, gentle hands, and a whole lot of love.
The Baby Calf Named Ehcuby Duby continues the heartwarming journey of Ada and Pepita through family, animals, Puerto Rican country life, and the small moments that become unforgettable memories.
