It addresses themes of aging and cultural identity with great sensitivity, making it an excellent resource for middle-grade readers (ages 8-12) who are ready for a story that balances wonder with real-world emotional stakes. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates heritage while providing a comforting space to process the vulnerability of aging family members.
