Alma: "Goodbye Howard"

Alma: I'm on my way to get my bat back from Howard.

Can't play baseball without it!

[Ding-dong]

Leona: Oh hello, Alma. Good to see you.

Alma: Hi.

[Chacho barking]

Leona: Gustavo! Did you catch the game last night?

Howard: Pack? Don't pack? Pack? Don't pack? Pack.

Alma: Hi, Howard!

What're you up to?

Howard: Just cleaning and packing stuff.

What's up, Alma?

Alma: Can I have my bat back, please?

Howard: Oh, yeah! Great! It's right here, in my "“give back"” box.

Alma: Sa-weet!

Howard: Thanks for letting me borrow it.

Alma: Of course! I'm going to the park to play baseball with Rafia, André, and Lucas.

Wanna come?

Howard: Mmmm, no thanks.

Alma: For real?! Howard loves baseball.

Howard: I gotta finish packing and give back everybody's stuff before I leave tomorrow.

Pack.

Abuelo: i¡Vamos, Almita! Time to go!

Alma: Later, Howard!

Howard: Wait!

Could you give these back to Rafia, André, and Lucas?

Alma: Oof!

Howard: Ya know, since you're gonna see them anyways.

Alma: Sure.

Howard: Great. Thanks, Alma.

Alma: Okay, see ya.

[sigh] I wonder why Howard needs to give back all this stuff right now.

Wait a minute... Why is Howard packing?

And why does he have all those boxes? And suitcases?

And why's he giving everybody's stuff back before he leaves?

[Gasp] Noooo. Does that mean?

Rafia/André/Lucas: [giggle]

Alma: Hey everyone!

Howard is moving! I repeat.

Howard. Is. Moving. Tomorrow!

Rafia: Wait, what?

Lucas: Like from the Bronx? To somewhere... not the Bronx?

André: Hold up. How do you know he's moving?

I was just at his house. He was packing his stuff into boxes and suitcases.

And he asked me to give back your stuff.

And he said no to playing baseball!

Base. Ball.

Rafia/André/Lucas: [Gasp]

Rafia: He did?

André: Oh, it's serious if he turned down baseball.

Alma: I know, right?! He loves baseball.

Lucas: Alma's right. He must be moving out of the Bronx... forever.

Alma: I'm really gonna miss Howard.

Lucas: Me too. It seems like just yesterday we were playing water tag with him right here...

André: That was yesterday.

Lucas: Oooh, right.

Rafia: Remember that time he and Tallulah went super high on the swings?

Swinging is one of his favorite things to do.

Kids: [Sigh]

Alma: Hey! What if we plan a special day for Howard?!

André: And do all his favorite things around the neighborhood?

Alma: Exactly. One last time.

Lucas: Great idea! Rafia: Yes!

Alma: Let's make a plan.

André: There.

Rafia: World's Greatest Last Day with Howard.

Alma: This is gonna be ah-may-zing.

Lucas: Ehh, I don't know... I think we need something bigger.

Like a party! And we can invite the whole neighborhood!

Alma: Love it! Okay, so meet at Howard's tomorrow morning.

André: Wait! Why wouldn't Howard just tell us that he's moving?

Alma: Ahhh...

Lucas: It's probably because it's too sad for him to say goodbye.

André: Okay.

Alma: That's totally it.

Poor Howard. We gotta make sure his last day is way way wayyy special!

Howard: [Humming]

Kids: Good morning!

Howard: Oh, hey!

Alma: Bring it in for a Howard Handshake!

Alma/Howard: One, two. Mmhm!

I'm running late! [Giggle]

Howard: Why are you all here?

Alma: We're here for a Howard Day!

Rafia: A day filled with all of your favorite things!

Lucas: We wouldn't miss your last day for anything!

Howard: Ohhh, Alma told you I'm leaving today, huh?

Alma: Mmhmm.

Howard: So tell me about this Howard Day.

Alma: Come on, we'll show you!

Howard: Home run!

Alma: Is he good or what?

Howard: Let me hear you say, '‘How-ward!'

Kids: How-waard!

Howard: I can't hear youuuu!

Kids: Howww-waaard!

Howard: Yeah! Woo hoo!

What's next for Howard Day?

Rafia: Hold on tight. And get ready for the World's Greatest Push!

Alma/Lucas/André: Wooo! Oh Yeah!

Howard: This is amazing!

Alma: Here you go.

Howard: Yes! Water tag!

I loooove water tag!

Alma: And guess what?! You get to pick who's '‘it!'

Howard: I piiiiiiick...

Me!

Kids: Ahh! Run!

Rafia: Can't catch me Howard!

Kids: [laughing and giggling]

Piragua Man: One Howard Special for ya!

See you at Howard's party!

Piragua Man/Lucas: [Giggle] André: Shh!

[Pigeons coo]

Howard: Thanks Rafia.

Lucas: Here you go Howard.

Howard: Is that... a Howard Special?!

Alma: A Howard for Howard!

Howard: Mmmm! Me and my sensitive teeth are sooooo happy!

Okay, what's next?

Leona: Howard! Ready to go, honey?

Howard: Coming, Mommy!

Thanks for the Howard Day. Later!

André: Bye Howard... Lucas: Don't go! Alma: We don't want you to leave!

Howard: Same. I could have a Howard Day forever.

Kids: Mmmm!

Howard: Okay, now you're squishing me.

Alma: Sorry.

Howard: See ya!

Alma: And now, for the big surprise!

Howard: Huh?

Crowd: Surprise!

Howard: Hmm? A bonus Howard Surprise on Howard Day?!

This just keeps getting better and better!

Rafia: Here, Howard.

Safina used her best recipe to make these going away cupcakes for you.

Howard: Thanks.

Lucas: [Sniff] Flowers for you.

Howard: Uhh, thanks.

Lucas: [Sniff]

André: And goodbye cards from everyone!

Crowd: Mmhmm... Abuelo: Ay...

Chacho: [Whimpers]

Alma: I know how he's feeling. [sigh]

Howard: Ahhhhh, thanks?

Alma: Eddie and I wrote a special going away song for you.

[Speaker feedback]

Hit it, Eddie.

♪ Ohhh, How-ward, we'll miss you when you're gone.♪

♪ It's gonna be way wayyy hard moving on.♪

Alma/Eddie: ♪You're moving from the Bronx, it's sad to see.♪

♪But we'll stay friends for all eternityyyy. ♪

♪Ohh, Howard, Howard, We'll see you, see you, Howard!♪

♪Our Bronx friend, goodbyeeee!♪

Lucas: [Sniff]

Howard: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa ... Whoa!

What's going on? Why are you giving me gifts and saying goodbye and singing me sad songs?

Alma: We wanted to wish you one big Bronx goodbye before you move away.

Howard: What? I'm moving?!?!

Leona: No no no, baby. We're not moving.

Alma: Huh??

Crowd: Huh? Lucas: What?

Howard: I am sooo confused. Why do you all think I'm moving?

Alma: Uhhhh...

Wait! Howard's not moving?! What's happening?

I gotta think about this...

Howard was packing. That's what people do when they move, right?

Howard: I gotta finish packing and give back everybody's stuff before I leave tomorrow...

Alma: And he said he was leaving tomorrow. So that's why I thought he was moving.

Eeeeven though he never said he was... Huh.

Howard is moving!

I repeat- Howard. Is. Moving. Tomorrow!

Rafia: Wait, what?

Lucas: Like from the Bronx?

Alma: Ohh... I told everyone Howard is moving even though I didn't know for sure.

Oof, I should have checked with him first. But I know what to do.

Howard, I saw you packing and thought that meant you were moving.

Sooo that's why I told everyone.

Crowd: Ohhhhhhhh!

Alma: Sorry, everybody!

I really should've asked you first.

Howard: It's okay, Alma. But the good news is... I am not moving!

Crowd: [cheering]

Howard: But uhh wait a minute, can I still keep all this stuff?

Alma: Sure! Bring it in for a Howard hug!

André: Wait a minute, so if you're not moving... where are you going today?

Howard: To New Jersey for the week.

My cousins just moved there, so my mom and I are giving them a bunch of stuff for their new place.

Leona: We thought we'd do a little cleaning too, and give back anything Howard borrowed.

Crowd: Ohhhhhhhh.

Alma: That makes way way wayyy more sense.

André: Welp, see you when you get back.

Howard: Hold up!

Can we finish the bonus Howard surprise party?

I mean there's still time to celebrate me.

Right, mommy?

Leona: Always baby.

The party is back on!

Crowd: Woo, let's do it! Go Howard!

Alma: I'm happy we don't have to say goodbye to Howard, but I guess we need a new song.

Rafia: Yeah Howard! Lucas: Glad you're staying Howard!

[♪♪♪]

Alma: "Re-Use Re-Do"

Alma: Got it!

Am I good or what?

Another one in the bag!

Charlene: In the bag and off the beach!

André: In ya go.

Lucas: Two points André.

Woo hoo! André: Alright!

Charlene: Oh yeah, we're gonna make something so magnificent out of all this.

Alma: But, Charlene, isn't it all just trash?

Charlene: Trash that we're going to turn into art!

Lucas: Oh? Alma: Really? André: How??

Charlene: You'll find out tomorrow!

Meet me at the bookstore first thing in the morning, kay?

Alma: Okay! André: Sounds good! Lucas: Can't wait!

Nea: Hey, kiddos! Look what just came in.

André: Woah!

Alma: The new "“Spotty the Seal: Ocean Detective"” book!

André: I've been waiting for it for weeks!

Lucas: Who's Spotty?

André: It's a new book series about Carlotta Clues's friend, Spotty the Spotted Seal.

Alma: Spotty loves solving underwater mysteries.

Lucas: [Gasp] I do too!

Like last summer I was wearing flip-flops. Then I lost one in the ocean.

So I had to wear just one flip-flop all day...

I wish I had a Spotty to spot it.

Alma/André: [Giggles]

Nea: As soon as Charlene is done with the art display, I'll put these out.

Alma: Display?

Charlene: Yep! C'mon, I'll show you.

Kids: Wow, whoa!

Alma: It's Spotty! Lucas: Wow!

Charlene: Right?! All the Spotty books will go under here. Hope that inspires kids to read them.

So will you help me finish the display?

Lucas: Of course! Alma: Yes! André: Yeah!

Alma: Wait a minute... are those plastic bags?

André: And straws?

Lucas: And bottle caps?

Charlene: Yes, yes, and definitely yes.

We're making this art from that trash!

Alma: Huh? Lucas: What? André: Really?

Charlene: Well, it feels good to make something new from stuff people threw away.

Alma: That does sound sa-weet.

Lucas: Buuut... isn't it dirty?

Charlene: No worries. I cleaned it all.

Lucas: Phew!

Alma: So what now?

Charlene: I'd love for you to make more sea animals out of trash.

So Spotty here can have some friends!

André: Ooo, like...

A jellyfish?

Charlene: Yeah, I can definitely see that.

Alma: Me too!

Lucas: It looks like a plastic bag to me.

André: [Jellyfish voice] Boop ba doop ba doop.

Hi Lucas!

Lucas: Oh! Now I see the jellyfish! [giggle]

Charlene: Help yourselves to anything in here for your art.

Lucas: Look what I found! A spork! It's like a spoon but it's also like a fork!

Greatest invention ever!!

André: What about metal sporks, ones that you can use over and over again?

Lucas: Okay, that'd be better. Buuut this can make... the greatest art ever!

Alma: Yeah! André: Totally!

André: I got it. I'm going to make a giant whale that's having a party.

And I'll turn this into shrimp. They'll be her party guests!

Alma: Love it!

Lucas: André, that is very André.

I'm gonna make a giant squid looking for his friends.

Three brave fish named Alma, André, and Lucas!

Alma: [Fish voice] Help! Come find us! Glob, glob, glob glob!

André/ Lucas: [Giggle]

Lucas: What're you gonna make, Alma?

Alma: Mmmm... I'm not sure yet.

Charlene: Ya know, sometimes it helps me to draw things out first.

Wanna give it a try?

Alma: Sure.

Charlene: Just take a look at the ocean. What kind of friends do you think Spotty would like?

Alma: Hmm. Uhh... I know!

I'm going to make a sea turtle who helps Spotty solve underwater mysteries!

Like this.

Charlene: Fantastic! That's a perfect friend for Spotty.

Alma: Now, I gotta find the perfect pieces to make my turtle detective.

Ooh, these can be my turtle's body!

And these look just like a turtle's shell!

I gotta find a ton of them!

Lucas: Hey, Alma, can I look through the bin with you?

Alma: Sure!

Lucas: Ah-ha! I got my squid eyes!

Alma: Ooh, nice. Do you see any more of those? I'm using them for my turtle shell.

Lucas: You can have '‘em!

Alma: For real?

Lucas: Yeah! I'll find something else.

Alma: Thanks, Lucas!

Lucas: Oooh, I like these.

Alma: Woah! That coral is ah-may-zing. How'd you make it André?

André: Oh, these are all leftover pieces from my whale outline, mixed with some chip bags and other scraps I found.

Charlene: Using every last piece, that's the best part!

André: Mhmm!

Alma: Time to make my turtle.

I don't know... it needs a little more... excitement.

Hey, André, do you have any more of those chip bags? I love that they're shiny and green.

André: Uhh, nope, sorry!

Alma: That's okay.

Charlene: You should check in the bins again, Alma.

Maybe something will catch your eye!

Alma: Yeah! I'll look.

Hmm... Uh... Nope.

Mmm.... Hmmmm... Nope, nothing shiny and green.

[Sigh] Those bags would've been way, way, wayyy perfect on my turtle's shell.

Charlene: Don't give up! Keep looking around and you'll find something that inspires you.

Alma: Look around, huh?

Okay, let's get looking.

Nothing here.

Hmm... [gasp]

Ooh, pretty!

This is it! Shiny and green.

I know! Mami can buy these for me, so I can finish my turtle!

Charlene is gonna love these beads.

Charlene: Thanks, Frankie! We're gonna turn these bags into some beautiful art.

Alma: Wait a minute, should I be buying stuff?

I gotta think about this...

André: These are all leftover pieces from my whale outline, mixed with some chip bags and other scraps I found.

Alma: André only used what he found in the bins to make his whale.

[Sigh] Those bags would've been way, way, wayyy perfect on my turtle's shell.

But I can't make my turtle the way I want to if I don't have the stuff to make it.

So I think I need these beads.

Charlene: It feels good to make something new from stuff people threw away.

Alma: Hmm, buying something new isn't the same as using trash to make art...

Ahh! I know what to do.

I don't need to buy something new to make my turtle.

I'm gonna find something else. Let's go find some trash!

Hey, Charlene?

Charlene: What can I do for you?

Alma: I want to finish my turtle shell. But I looked through the bins and couldn't find anything shiny and green.

Charlene: Maybe it'd be helpful to ask yourself if the shell needs to be those things?

Alma: What do you mean?

Charlene: Could your turtle shell be scratchy? Or spotted? Or purple even?

Alma: Hmmm....

Maybe!

Or maybe it could be lots of different colors!

Or bumpy!

Or bendy!

Charlene: I love where you're going with all this. Keep at it!

Let's see all your beautiful trash art!

Kids: That's awesome! Whoa! Charlene: Oh, it's amazing!

André: Presenting... Willa, the Party Whale!

[Whale voice] Welcome to my Party!

Alma: I want to go to that party.

Charlene: Yeah, me too!

Lucas: Check out my squid!

I call him CalaMarky the Squid!

[Squid voice] Nice to meet ya! Kids: [giggle]

Alma: Weren't you going to give him fishy friends?

Lucas: I was! But I ran out of time. So, I guess, he's still looking for 'em.

Alma: Well... I know who can help find them!

Ta-da! Meet Mateo, the Sea Turtle Detective!

[Turtle voice] If you need something found, I'm always around.

André: Love it! Charlene: Fantastic! Lucas: It looks great!

Alma: He's named after my Uncle Mateo in Puerto Rico. He loves sea turtles.

André: Nice, Alma!

Lucas: He'll find CalaMarky's fishy friends in no time!

Charlene: Thank you so much! You've made this art wall a real masterpiece.

I can't wait for everyone to see it!

Nea: Wonderful.

André: I'm gonna show our moms.

Alma: Welp, looks like you can make a turtle out of trash.

And if you ask me, he looks way way wayyy shell-tastic!
