One of the greatest gifts that we have as we life is that of reflection. To be able to look back over our lives and see the things that happened realizing that every lesson is an opportunity to learn. In this collection we are taught some valuable lessons about growing up in the Latinx home. In Princess the narrator shares the joys of being the only girl in a house full of men, how hard it is and how special the outcome was. In Pinch of This we drift away to the special experience of learning the secret to connecting cooking to family and making it special for everyone no matter how old or young they are. And finally, in Daddy Daughter Dance we dance through the challenges of finally making it to high school and all of your siblings have graduated and gone away. Walking and maneuvering the hallways of school solo can be a challenge. But when she sees the advertisement for the daddy daughter dance she is excited.
However, her papa reminds her of when he danced with her at her quinceaƱera and the mistakes that he made, he didn't want that for her again. But as the time passes and her sadness is clear her parents decide to make the dance come to her ending with a beautiful and perfect dance.
