"Lupe Wong Won't Dance" follows the story of Lupe, a spirited middle school student with a passion for baseball and a determination to stand up for herself. As she grapples with her identity as a Mexican American and faces the pressure to conform, particularly when it comes to participating in a dance unit at school, Lupe refuses to back down. With the support of her loving family and friends, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and the importance of staying true to who she is. The story highlights themes of cultural identity, friendship, and resilience. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
