Por ello, Kiko ha decidido llevar el pastel ella sola. Sale de su casa y sigue las huellas dejadas por su papá en la nieve. A lo lejos divisa una figura que viste un abrigo negro. ¿Es su papá? Muy pronto, esta niña vivirá una extraña aventura, la cual parece salida de un sueño.

One morning, little Kiko wakes up to find everything outside covered in a beautiful blanket of white. Her dad left early that day to help her grandma clear off her roof on the other side of the forest—but he forgot to bring the delicious cake made especially for her! Kiko decides to bring her the cake himself. She leaves home and follows her dad’s footprints in the snow. In the distance, she can see a figure dressed in a black coat. Is it her dad?
