For lovers of dragons and action-packed adventures, this book is a great starting point for discussing machismo culture and family expectations.
I love that Miguel is an artist who fights for his family by forging his own path and resisting the legacy of the sword by using his mighty imagination. Sprinkled with Spanish and chock-full of cultural details, I found this book to be a celebration of boyhood and creativity—and so fun to read aloud!
From Gabriella's list on celebrate being Latine in the US.
