Uno Más, One More

Join Don Manuel and Doña Lila—along with their children and many neighbors—for a fiesta in their one-room casita in this exuberant Spanish language retelling of a beloved Scottish folktale that celebrates kindness and community.

Don Manuel and Doña Lila love welcoming others into their home—no one is ever turned away. One day, their casita overflows with friends and loved ones and the house begins to shake and crack, causing chaos before everyone rushes out. To the family’s dismay, their beloved home collapses. But where there is goodwill, there is also a way. In no time at all, their friends get to work and rebuild the casita, proving just how important teamwork is when fixing a problem.

This vibrant Latino retelling of a popular Scottish ballad celebrates kindness, community, and the selfless gesture of giving back.
