The House That Lou Built by Mae Respicio
4.0
Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for a review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
There is so much to celebrate in THE HOUSE THAT LOU BUILT. I know that my girl-power-loving second grader will love reading a book about a strong, smart, independent young girl who can bridge between goofing off with friends and managing a complex construction site. I'll also recommend this book to my half-Filipina nieces, who I’m sure will appreciate reading about Lou, her Filipino culture, and her loving extended family. I learned new Filipino vocabulary and customs, and saw references to some familiar elements like the lumpia we sometimes share at family gatherings.
THE HOUSE THAT LOU BUILT was a balanced, entertaining, and fast-reading book. I already pre-ordered 2 copies!
