According to the creators, "In Barrio Grrrl!, spunky nine-year-old Ana is faced with a very big decision. On the one hand, as her alter-ego Barrio Grrrl with her invisible sidekick The Amazing Voice, she’s busy preserving justice in the barrio and protecting her neighborhood. On the other hand, in the world where Ana lives with her abuelo (grandfather) and misses her mom who is far away in Iraq, reality is sneaking up on her. Ana must decide what’s most important: being a superhero or a girl who works little miracles in real life."
