Beto won't wear a guayabera to the wedding. Nope Nunca Not going to happen Beto tries his best to rid himself of the traditional Mexican wedding shirt his Mami gave him. He even gets help from his dog Lupe, but the shirt ends up back on his bed each time with notes from Mami, who becomes increasingly frustrated with Beto. Mami insists that Beto attend the wedding, and wear the shirt, because--after all--it's her wedding Beto has to accept the fact that Mami is getting remarried and that she wants him to wear the shirt, which is part of his heritage.

"Three Pockets Full touched my heart in a way I wasn't expecting when I started reading it. It's a book about family, but it's also about grief. Cindy L. Rodriguez has written a children's book full of beautiful art that encourages interaction between children and the people with whom they read it, whether that be parents, grandparents, or other trusted people. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others!" --Rylanne Burdette, Readers' Favorite

Three Pockets Full will leave young and old hearts alike full of wonder and appreciation." --The Winged Pen
