I love diverse characters and books that let my daughter learn about different cultures and experiences. This is a great book about a Guatemalan family and their desire for a better life and the struggles they go through. I love books that tell hard stories to children in ways that are age-appropriate.

professionally, forcing them to close the family restaurant and flee to the US.
