In the vein of Eloise, Olivia, and Fancy Nancy, Carmen is a little girl with a BIG personality. She loves the spotlight and fame that comes with being an actress, and she only grudgingly shares attention with her adoring little brother, Eduardo. How will she handle it when Eduardo lands a starring role in a commercial?

Carmen and her family speak a convincing mix of English and (untranslated) Spanish, inspired by the terms of endearment the author's grandfather used when she was a little girl.
