About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate your family's cultural roots or when your child needs an invitation to express their emotions through movement. This rhythmic collection of poems centers on Marisol, a young girl who spends her summer nights at her father's dance studio, watching neighbors transform through music. It is a joyful exploration of community, heritage, and the way different rhythms, from the Mambo to the Cumbia, can tell our personal stories. Ideal for children ages 6 to 10, the book offers a lyrical way to discuss how art and dance help us connect with our history and find our place in a vibrant, supportive community. It is a perfect choice for encouraging creative confidence and celebrating the bond between a father and daughter.
