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—he'll be like a big brother to her precious houseplants! Jesús does an excellent job keeping them watered, entertained, and happy—until an unfortunate accident during a dance party throws Jesús’s entire job into crisis mode! Join Jesús and a hilarious cast of houseplants as they navigate the biggest challenge of all.

The high-spirited hero of Papá’s Magical Water-Jug Clock is back with another irresistible family misadventure that will warm your heart and make you laugh.
