Xander wakes up on a beautiful day and realizes his abuela is not in his home. His mom explains abuela lives thousands of miles away but they can connect through a video call. As mami makes breakfast, Xander chats with his abuela and enjoys singing a traditional children's song.
Xander feels much better as he turns his hand back and forth, while his abuela sings to him. A video call connects them while a song continues to grow their bond from miles away.
Join Xander as he connects with a loved one virtually and so can you!
