Daisy loves her small California town and especially cruising it on the back of her father’s motorcycle. A nice ode to home and hometown while also noticing the changes that might negatively impact the community.

The author takes a sentimental, nostalgic wallow into her girlhood, remembering/fantasizing a ride around her hometown of Corona, California, on the back of her father's motorcycle. Too dull for me.

I loved this so much I went out and bought it, and I only buy a picture book to keep maybe once every five years. It is SO amazingly beautiful with a wonderful story; 10/10 would recommend to all ages.

this book showcases a beautiful bond between a father and daughter while giving an insight into Mexican culture. It takes us through a town where the two live showing us work environments, businesses, and community.
