This book takes you for a ride along with a little girl growing up and seeing how fast time goes by as her neighborhood changes. It’s a great book for children to learn about enjoying life as children and with the people they live because time flies.

A great personal narrative text, with an author’s not that will make a great artist statement mentor.

About a little girl who rides a motorcycle with her dad. Her dad is an immigrant. Has diversity and will have children that are immigrants or their parents are they can relate to it. Has very good illustrations! Definetly will have in my classroom.

Wonderful illustrations. Look into a city and culture of a Latin American father and daughter. Only thing is- not great for reading out loud as the pages are pretty wordy.

I liked this as a memory of Quintero’s rides with her dad as much as anything.

Sweet children's picture book. This captures a for me unfamiliar time and place. Bright but subtle colors explode on the pages. The community they ride through springs to life. Good text. Nice art. A bit of Spanish.

Super cute! I adore the artwork. Really nice story about a little girl exploring her neighborhood and all of its changes (including some gentrification) with her dad on his motorcycle.
