Sumo Libre

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels different from family or friends, or is hesitant to try something new because they fear they won't fit in. Sumo Libre is a humorous and big-hearted story about Kenta, a boy from a family of speedy luchadores who discovers he has the powerful build of a sumo wrestler. Instead of choosing one path, he learns to combine both traditions, creating his own unique and powerful style. For ages 6 to 9, this book is a wonderful, action-packed celebration of self-discovery, embracing one's unique heritage and strengths, and finding the courage to forge your own identity.
