Customer Reviews

A short, sweet tale--told in two languages

This is an excellent, but short, autobiographical story of the author's youth focusing on music and how it tied individual family members together. Vivid artwork enhances the story. Brief references to Mexico's fight for independence could open further discussion. Each page has English text with a Spanish translation below. An excellent read-aloud for 8 and up.
