Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Muñoz Ryan

4.0

This is a family story and I loved stepping into their home. Baby Beluga is the name of their trailer. There are many things that are difficult about their family situation (mostly because their mother has addiction issues), but there are so many things that are positive. Naomi and her brother are being raised by a very caring great grandmother. They haven't seen their father in years, but he wants to know them. They have close supportive adult neighbors too.

I felt like I was right in the midst of the family while I was reading. There was a wonderful sense of place throughout. I wanted to spend more time with Naomi's family.
