A beautiful immigrant's story about change and culture. I really enjoyed the beautiful illustrations and the passion for Quintero's hometown.

I love the illustrations in this book. I also love how the author uses Spanish and English to tell the story. Such a sweet father-daughter book.

Such a nice read! I wish there’d been more literature like this when I was a kid.

Gorgeous art for a fun, uplifting story of father-daughter bonding and community identity. “Home is a feeling you take with you” ❤️❤️❤️

I read this with my 7 and 11 year old boys. I loved this book. The illustrations really uplifted the Mexican American culture of Southern California. The storyline was really quite sweet -- a father and his young daughter taking a ride through their hometown that they love. I love the inclusion of Spanish in the text, which is useful for my oldest who is learning Spanish.

In this book we get to see Daisy's neighborhood from her perspective on the back of her dad's motorcycle. What a sweet view of their relationship and her relationship to her community.
