Reach for this book when your child is beginning to experiment with different personas or when they seem to need a boost of confidence to step out of the shadows and show their true self. It is a vibrant celebration of self-discovery through the lens of Lucha Libre, Mexico's traditional masked wrestling. Young Niño creates various masks to pretend he is a lion, a shark, or a monster, but he realizes that his greatest strength comes from simply being himself. This story beautifully validates a child's need for creative play while gently guiding them toward internal pride. It is a perfect choice for ages 3 to 7, offering a colorful and culturally rich way to talk about identity and the courage it takes to be 'real' in front of others.
