Reach for this book when your child is beginning to ask deeper questions about their heritage or when they feel like they do not quite fit into a single cultural box. Set against the backdrop of World War II, it provides a gentle but profound entry point for discussing how family secrets and traditions shape who we are today. Luís and his mother leave Los Angeles for a small village in New Mexico, where he expects to find deep roots but instead finds a mystery. As he observes his family's peculiar traditions, like lighting candles in a hidden cellar, he realizes his identity is far more layered than he ever imagined. This story is ideal for children ages 10 to 14, offering a realistic look at how history, religion, and family loyalty intersect in the search for belonging.
