her younger brother, Luis, and her baby sister, Ana. Her

Elena struggles to keep up in school. Her teacher says she
needs to practice her reading, but it's hard to find time
to read. She must help her mother with the cooking and
housework, as well as the hard work of planting and
weeding their garden.
As the big sister Elena is also in charge of watching over
Luis to keep him out of mischief. It isn't always easy and
