Review

A love letter to her town and her family growing up Isabel Quintero puts a focus on the real people who built the town around her. The text makes subtle nods to gentrification that children can understand. The text also focuses on the importance of the forgotten voices of the people who did the work to make towns and cities like the one Daisy lives in with a special focus on immigrants.
