Zapinette spends Christmas in the Big Apple! She reveals a slice of existence from a perspective that’s both rare and familiar. She is exclusive in her worldly travels, having been delivered in the United States, currently living in Paris, and going to faraway lands with her cherished Unky Berky. She is all too common in her discomfort as the child of a broken house, her anger and hostility over her mother’s new beau (“Fermin the Virmen’), her misunderstandings over the baffling realities from the adult world, and her internal longing to find her real dad. Equipped with a facile brain and an exposure to several dialects, Zapinette relies greatly on her personal vocabulary to spell it out the people and events that spin around her.
