Seven year old Amari lives with his parents and baby sister in a corner apartment building called the McCallister. It is the summer of 2020 and, along with children around the world, he is living through a global pandemic. While he knows he is lucky to be with his family, on some days, he is bored and misses his regular life. During all of the changes, Amari comes up with small acts of kindness for his neighbors. As a result, he has emerged as a guiding light of unity in his building. Even though Amari cannot do some of the activities he has always done, he connects in new ways with the people who live in his building. In Spanish.
