(2) 4-6 Lou Bulosan-Nelson dreams of building houses. When her single mother announces plans to leave San Francisco for a better-paying job in Washington State, Lou tries to dissuade Mom by building a tiny house on the San Fran lot left by Lou's late father. Engaging narrator Lou is passionate about her interests and deeply committed to friends and family. Filipino American culture is a crucial part of Lou's world, and Respicio incorporates it seamlessly into the story.
