In "The House That Lou Built" by Mae Respicio, we follow Lou, a Filipino American girl who dreams of building a tiny house in her backyard. With her father gone and her family dynamics shifting, Lou seeks to carve out her own space and connect with her heritage. As she balances her aspirations with the realities of her changing home life, Lou navigates friendship, family love, and the importance of finding a place to belong. Through her journey, she learns that home is not just a physical structure but a blend of memories, culture, and support. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
