(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Siara Faison. In this feel-good chapter book, the first in a series, fifth-grader Miguel rescues a stray cat outside of his family’s bodega, beginning a close friendship. The cat, named Lolo, describes how he adjusts to being part of a loving family. In alternating chapters, Miguel narrates how Lolo inspires him to be brave and tell his parents he wants to pursue art. In the end, both learn a lesson about helping others. Black-and-white illustrations, including panels from Miguel’s comic-book art, break up the text.
