The House That Lou Built by Mae Respicio

5.0

This was such a great coming of age story rooted deeply within a loving Filipino American community. Lou has a big dream to build a tiny house in the Bay Area. Along the way she's practicing for Barrio Fiesta (hopefully she doesn't trip while dancing tinikling) and trying to convince her mom to stay in Oakland. You'll definitely want to gift this to all your younger nieces and nephews; especially any who are builders and makers.
