About This Book
Reach for this book when your children are struggling to play together because they have different interests or when you want to celebrate the beauty of a multicultural household. Max and Kenji are brothers who both love wrestling, but they are passionate about different styles: Max loves the high-flying masks of Lucha Libre, while Kenji prefers the tradition and strength of Sumo. Instead of letting their differences cause a rift, the brothers find a way to mash their worlds together into something entirely new. It is a vibrant celebration of creativity, sibling bonding, and cultural identity that is perfect for children ages 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it models healthy compromise and the way it honors both Mexican and Japanese heritage through a lens of pure, childhood joy.
