“Put shoes on!“ She'll say say whenever I'm barefoot“

I could see a middle schooler or even a 4th or 5th graders really loving this books. I think it is a great chapter book where you can really relate to what is happening and it creates a bond with the character. Defiantly a good free choice book and maybe a read aloud.

A girl in sixth grade who grew up in a lower-class Cuban-American family who goes to a private school, and does not know how to fit in with her other richer peers. She tries to fit in, but learns to appreciate herself, her family, and her culture.
Easy read, coming of age, relatable, and appropriate read to have children from other cultures feel like they are seen and belong.
