This is very sweet! Loved the artwork and this platform for telling the story of his family and how he developed his identity as a “Mexikid.” I laughed out loud several times. It gets pretty deep still in parts with his Abuelito and Abuelita, his reflections as a kid of Mexican parents who was born in the US, what it means to be a hero. My daughter enjoyed it too - I’d recommend this for any 5th grader and up.
