What did Esperanza ask Miguel for her birthday? Why did she want this gift?

Question

In chapter 14, Esperanza asks Miguel to drive down the hill before sunrise to hear Earth's heartbeat. I don't know why she wants this gift.

Shortly before her 14th birthday, Esperanza begs Miguel to drive with her to the foothills so that they can watch the sunrise.
