Isabel Quintero builds the story around a daughter rides through her changing neighborhood with her papi in a loving portrait of family and place. Excellent Latine family and neighborhood-change title Especially good for repeat readings because the language stays readable while the emotional detail keeps opening up. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Find more children's books about BIPOC, then try Chooch Helped picture book next.
