Summary

Rosa's birthday party is today, and the theme is her favorite singer of all time: the queen of salsa, Celia Cruz. It's a great party - the only thing that would make it better is if Celia Cruz herself could help Rosa celebrate. Of course, Celia died a long time ago, so that could never happen... right?
