Reach for this book when your child feels like their personal passions do not align with your expectations or when they are struggling to find their voice within a high-achieving family. It is a perfect choice for the creative soul who expresses themselves better through doodles than through traditional academics or sports. Following Miguel, a young Dominican American boy, the story explores the tension between following one's artistic dreams and the practical pressure of parental approval. While Miguel's parents want him to focus on more traditional paths, he finds inspiration in his family's new bodega cat, Lolo. Through the creation of Super Cat comics, Miguel navigates family dynamics, cultural identity, and the courage to show his true self. This is a heartwarming, relatable read for children ages 8 to 12 who are coming into their own.
