Phantom of the Trumpet.
Que chevere!
You sound great, Kenji!
Thanks. My cousin gave me
this trumpet when I was two
and boom!
I've been playing it ever since.
That's a long time.
No wonder you're so good!
Your music is so pretty and loud,
in a good way.
It reminds me of when I saw
my Papi play in a concert.
Ooh!
What's a concert?
It's when musicians
play their music for people
at a theater or a park.
I got to see Papi do that once.
Papi had a show ♪
At a nightclub in the city ♪
Mami let me stay up late ♪
They had his poster on the wall ♪
And the twinkle lights so pretty ♪
Then Papi played ♪
We sat beside the stage ♪
And it was so amazing ♪
When Papi played ♪
When Papi played ♪
When Papi played ♪
Boom! Sounds like a blast!
I want to a concert!
Now, please.
You know, I think I might
kind of want to be in a concert.
-You would?
-Yeah.
Your dad's concert sounds
like it was pretty cool.
It really was.
So, do you think
you could help me put one on?
We'd love to help, Kenji.
You can play for everyone,
right here!
Yes!
I've wanted to go to a concert
ever since Uh
Berti told us what a concert is.
I can't wait!
We can make posters
to tell everyone about your show!
And t-shirts.
It'll be muy super great!
So should I help?
That's okay.
We can set it all up.
Why don't you go practice?
I play for my moms every night.
So this will be boom! Zippity zap.
But, yeah, I'll practice.
Who wants to see my poster
for Kenji's concert?
You should see mine!
Ta-da!
Wow! Your poster is great!
There's no way people won't know
about Kenji's show now.
Almost done with t-shirts.
You made real t-shirts for the concert?
You're amazing!
-Well
-No. Womp womp.
We made pictures of t-shirts.
Yay!
We're putting on a show ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
We're putting on a concert ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
You can even wear them.
Wapa! Great!
What else do we need?
At my dad's concert,
they had a singer go on
before Papi to get the crowd excited.
I could do a dino show.
That's perfect. Thanks, Tej.
We're putting on a show ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
We're putting on a concert ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
Berti, look! We made tickets.
Everyone needs a ticket
to get into the show.
Great idea.
But, uh, why so many tickets?
For all the first-graders we invited.
Oh, all the first-graders?
This concert's getting
a lot bigger than we thought.
I better let Kenji know
so he isn't surprised.
-Uh, Kenji?
-Yo.
So I'm a little worried
your concert's getting too big.
There'll be t-shirts, tickets,
lots of people coming.
Maybe too many?
I mean, first-graders are invited.
Don't worry. It'll be fine.
As long as I can play my trumpet,
boom! I'm all good.
Okay, we'll keep setting up then.
All right, everyone,
Kenji's concert is starting soon.
Let's get everything in place.
We're putting on a show ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
We're putting on a concert ♪
Whoa-oh-oh ♪
We're gonna have tickets, t-shirts ♪
Take your seats ♪
We're getting set ♪
To hear that trumpet blow ♪
Putting on a show ♪
Everything looks great, Berti.
I'll go get Kenji.
-Kenji, ready for the show?
-Sure.
Okay, here we are.
So, what do you think?
Uh, it looks great.
But just wondering.
How big is this show?
Oh, it got a little super very big?
Remember?
I told you the first-graders
were coming.
Yeah, I heard you,
but I didn't really worry about it.
What's he doing?
Tej's going to do a dinosaur show
before you go on.
To get everyone ready for you,
the big star!
Or, not the star, just the you!
Uh, great.
Kenji, why don't
I tell the first-graders
you'll play for them another day?
I don't want you to be nervous.
Nah, I'm cool.
Are you sure? It's really okay
No, I'm good.
It's gonna be, zippity zap, cool.
Hey, we should start the show.
Okay. Ready?
Um, ready.
Hey, everybody,
welcome to Kenji's first concert!
To start things off,
here's Tej and his dinos!
Roar!
-Roar, roar, roar?
-Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
My tummy, not so much.
You'll do great. I know it!
You ready, champ?
It's trumpet time!
Hello, my kidoodle-noodles!
Ms. Moreno is here?
Is it hot out here?
Why is it so hot?
-Roar, roar, roar!
-Roar, roar!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
Thanks, Tej. So great.
Is everyone ready for Kenji?
Yeah!
Kenji! Kenji! Kenji! Kenji!
Oh, wow.
Need more water? Be right back!
And now, for the trumpet performance
you've all been waiting for
The most famous trumpet player
in kindergarten
Kenji!
Where is he?
I thought we'd
hear the trumpets?
What's going on?
Uh, excuse me a sec.
Where did Kenji go?
Uh, I don't know.
He was here.
I turned away then, poof, gone!
He can't, poof, right now.
We need to find him. Fast!
Kenji not found.
I repeat, Kenji not found.
What's going on?
I thought we were supposed
to go to the concert?
Uh, Kenji will be out in a few minutes.
Hopefully.
Tej, can you do
some more dinosaur stuff?
Really?
Yup! More Dino! Now. Thanks.
Roar!
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!
There you are.
Are you okay?
Me? Yeah. Zippity zap
I kind of can't do the concert
at all.
I'm too nervous to play
in front of everyone.
Scared. Kinda.
I know you and our friends
worked really hard
to put on this concert,
but I can't do it.
I'm so sorry, Kenji.
You're always so calm.
But, you know,
it's okay to be nervous.
My dad feels the same way
before concerts, too.
He does? What does he do?
Does he run away and hide, too?
No.
He takes big breaths.
He says that makes
the oogly feelings go away.
He also does some dance moves.
That helps?
I don't know why, but it does.
How do you feel?
Still nervous.
Well, what do you usually do
if you're not feeling your best?
I played my trumpet. Alone.
Just me and the music.
It always makes me feel better.
Okay, so try that.
I feel so much cooler.
Beautiful music, Kenji.
Whoa!
Uh, I can tell them you're not ready.
No, no, it's okay.
I feel better now.
Let's do this.
Hey, thanks for helping me
not feel nervous, Berti.
- Don't worry. It's
- Boom! Cool!
Everyone!
I'm excited to introduce, again
Kenji and his trumpet!
Kenji!
Food, Glorious Food Fair.
Puerto Rico,
the Philippines,
Ireland.
Just look at all these flags
from the countries your families
come from.
They are fantastic.
They're the perfect decorations
for a special kindergarten event
we're having tomorrow.
We are having a super fun
Family Food Fair!
I can't wait!
This is gonna be good.
Yes, yes, yes!
What is that?
A Family Food Fair is a chance
for everyone to share
a favorite family dish with the class.
It can be something
you and your family eat
on holidays, birthdays,
or even just for Tuesday dinner!
Ooh, there's so many yummy foods
that my family makes.
My favorite stew, sancocho,
my Mami's pasteles
Oh, how can I pick just one?
I love talking 'bout
the food my family makes ♪
I'm getting hungry ♪
Mama puts a little love
in every muffin she bakes ♪
That sounds yummy ♪
I'm so excited ♪
You've gotta try it ♪
Can't wait to share it with you ♪
My favorite food ♪
I could eat it every day of my life ♪
And I bet you would, too ♪
It makes everybody happy ♪
That's why it's my favorite food ♪
I'm bringing latkes
with lotsa applesauce ♪
I'm bringing halo halo ♪
I got tater tots ♪
Apple crumble chewies ♪
Could I have one now, please ♪
Noodly-noodle soup ♪
My favorite food ♪
I could eat it every day of my life ♪
And I bet you would, too ♪
It makes everybody happy ♪
That's why it's my favorite food ♪
I know what to bring ♪
How 'bout arroz con gandules ♪
Rice with pigeon peas ♪
Who's with me? ♪
Arroz con gandules?
What's everyone looking at?
Your favorite food
has green pigeon peas in it?
I thought only grownups
liked food with green stuff.
Why the pigeon give away his peas?
The pigeon peas are beans,
and they aren't that green,
but the olives and sofrito are.
Sofrito?
Sofrito. You cook it
with the dish for flavor.
It's got cilantro, green peppers.
So, more green?
Um, yeah.
Don't worry, Berti.
I think your dish sounds interesting.
Thanks, Abigail.
Interesting because I thought
your favorite food
would be something fun,
like cookies or brownies,
not something with,
you know, vegetables.
Vegetables,
vegetables, vegetables
- Vegetables?
- Did you say vegetables?
-Vegetables?
-Did she say vegetables?
I promise,
arroz con gandules is really yummy.
Okay, my learners,
we have more to prepare
for our food fair!
Yay!
Hey, Albie.
Oh, I'm just worried
that arroz con gandules
won't be a showstopper at the food fair.
I know you like vegetables.
They taste so good,
and pigeon peas taste so so good, too!
Yeah, but I really wanna bring in a dish
that everyone will want to eat.
Hmm.
Okay, class.
Now we'll draw pictures of the foods
you're bringing in
to the Family Food Fair
and put them together
in a magnificent menu!
- Wow! Fun!
- I can't wait!
- Cool!
- This is so great!
I'm using purple for all the raisins
my mom puts in her soda bread.
This is a can of sweet milk
you
glug, glug, glug,
pour on the halo halo.
That sounds great!
And this is the teeny tiny picture
of arroz con gandules I'll draw
so no one sees how green it is.
Everyone! When you're done,
come give your drawing to me.
Then I can put them in our menu,
so everyone can see
all the foods that will be at the fair.
My peach cobbler, definitely goes in
the "Delicious Dessert" section.
Latkes, coming at ya!
Ooh! I know just the spot for them,
in "Awesome Snacks."
Ready to zip over there
with your drawing?
Oh, um, I guess.
Here you go.
It's a little hard to see.
Oh, uh, is it?
I can see you colored it, though.
I'll just put your dish
Hmm. Let's see.
Not in "Delicious Desserts."
Not in "Super Soups."
Oh, here! "Food with Green Stuff."
Yay!
How's the menu coming along?
Great!
Mine's the only green dish,
but it's really good.
Oh, I'm sure it is, Berti.
Ms. Moreno!
Coming.
Berti, what's wrong?
I don't think I should bring
arroz con gandules
to the food fair.
It's so green.
I'm afraid no one will eat it.
What? Come on!
Who cares what everybody else thinks?
It's your favorite family food, right?
Yes, very favorite.
But if Berti
doesn't wanna bring that in,
there might be something else,
like crackers?
They are less green,
but they're not special to my family.
Maybe there's something else.
What can I make? ♪
What would they like? ♪
Blueberry soup ♪
Pineapple pizza ♪
Something so great ♪
Something so right ♪
After one bite ♪
Everyone needs another plate
Another bowl ♪
Of peanut butter guacamole ♪
A strawberry sandwich ♪
Hmm, that's not bad ♪
Still not as good
as the dish that you had ♪
I think you should bring
the thing you love most ♪
Ooh, like bananas on cinnamon toast ♪
I know what I like ♪
But what should I make? ♪
Wait, I know! ♪
Arroz con gandules ♪
Cake! ♪
That's it!
I'll make my arroz look like cake.
That way everyone will wanna eat it.
I still don't think this is
a great idea.
Don't worry, Rose.
This will be even better.
No green showing.
Nothing vegetable-y.
Hey, Abigail.
I'm bringing a different dish
to the fair.
It's called Cake!
So you can put it under
Delicious Desserts.
-Wepa!
-Ooh!
Looks so good!
-Mami!
-Mi amorcito!
How was your day, my love?
Great! I get to bring my favorite food
into school tomorrow
for the Family Food Fair!
Oh, I know what you're bringing.
Arroz con gandules!
And I'm gonna make it look like a cake.
Que, que? A what?
A cake! I'm gonna shape the rice
into a big cake.
But why?
That's not how we have it at home.
So my friends won't see
all the healthy veggie stuff inside
and then they'll wanna eat it.
But you've always liked
arroz con gandules the way it is.
Maybe you should give your friends
a chance to like it that way, too.
Mami, I spent a lot of time
pretending to be a chef,
and I know for sure that making a dish
with vegetables and green stuff
will look way yummier as a cake!
I don't know
Maybe we can add frosting, too.
Careful. Careful.
Ten cuidado.
I've got it, Mami.
Ay mi amorcito,
I still think your friends
would like your dish the way it
Don't worry, they'll love this cake!
Wow! Wow, wow!
Gotta say your cake looks awesome!
Thanks.
- Cake!
- Cool.
-Whoa!
-Is that a banana cake?
Nope. Sweet plantains!
Your cake looks so good.
Oh, well, it is so good!
We make this, uh, cake,
all the time at home.
Ooh, that looks delicious!
Does it have green stuff in it?
-Oh, green stuff.
-Green stuff?
Um, did I mention
it has yummy plantains?
Let me cut you a rice.
I mean a slice!
Because this is exactly how we make
my favorite family dish
in all the world,
you know, because it's cake!
Yummy cake!
Uh, I
I can't!
I can't give you any cake.
Huh? Why not?
Because
Because it's not really cake at all!
What?
It's my arroz con gandules,
my favorite dish in all the world,
and I love it just the way it is,
even if it's full of green stuff!
I don't get it, Berti.
Why did you make
a rice and pigeon pea cake?
Because I didn't think
anyone would eat
my arroz con gandules
if they saw the green stuff.
But it's your favorite food.
I really wanted to try it.
Because I Wait.
You did?
- Yeah.
- I wanted to try it, too.
But you were asking
so many questions about it.
We didn't mean to make you feel
like we didn't like your food.
I just never heard
of pigeon peas before.
They sound good.
They're not just good.
Nom, nom, nom.
-They're delicious!
-Really?
Let's try it!
- I want some!
- Smells so good.
Arroz con gandules is served!
- Yum, yum!
- Oh, wow!
-Mmm!
-That's delicious.
This is pretty good.
Can I have seconds?
I'll take thirds!
Who wants to try some strudel next?
Or halo halo?
Me!
Buen provecho! Let's eat!
Yeah!
My favorite food ♪
I almost didn't try it ♪
But not I really like it ♪
Me too ♪
It's good and good for ya ♪
That's why it's my favorite food! ♪
Looks like all our favorite family foods
were showstoppers!
