Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked by peers or limited by the labels others place on them. It is a powerful choice for students navigating social cliques or for those who feel their complex identities are being reduced to a single trait, like the language they speak or where they come from. The story follows five Latinx students with very different backgrounds who are forced into a school community service project. As they move past their initial stereotypes of one another, they discover a shared mission to help someone in their community. It is a brilliant exploration of empathy and the 'invisible' lives of kids that is perfectly suited for the middle-grade years. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates the diversity within the Hispanic community while modeling how to bridge social divides through collective action.
