A young girl harnesses the power of music to bridge the distance between the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights in this jubilant picture book debut by Angie Cruz, bestselling and award-winning author of Dominicana.

Una nina aprovecha el poder de la mosica para acortar la distancia entre la Repoblica Dominicana y Washington Heights. Este es un debut inolvidable en el genero infantil de Angie Cruz, ganadora de moltiples premios y autora de la exitosa novela Dominicana.

Angelica ha pasadotodo el verano enla Repoblica Dominicana con sus tias y primas, sus abuelos y con la cotorra de al lado. Pronto, tendra que despedirse. El final del verano significa regresar a casa para volver a la escuela en la otra orilla. Antes de irse, su abuelo le da el regalo perfecto, algo con el poder de atraer multitudes y mover a la gente tan rapido como las alas de un picaflor- una g ira. Angelica se enamora de esta lata sin fondo y peine de hojalata que mantiene el ritmo, aunque al principio nadie parece compartir su entusiasmo. " Que es ese sonido?" dicen. " Centavos dentro de una lata?". Pero un dia soleado y caluroso en la tierra de Washington Heights, donde la mujer del frio-frio raspa hielo para una larga fila de clientes y los hombres de la esquina estrellan fichas de domin en una improvisada mesa de cart n, Angelica les muestra a sus vecinos el poder de la g ira.

Angelica y la g ira explora con carino y ternura la mosica y la comunidad, asi como la sabiduria y guia de nuestros mayores y la alegria y libertad de bailar en la calle! Este libro tambien disponible en ingles bajo el titulo Angelica and la G ira.

A young girl harnesses the power of music to bridge the distance between the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights in this jubilant picture book debut by Angie Cruz, bestselling and award-winning author of Dominicana.

Angelica has spent the summer in the Dominican Republic with her tias and primas, her grandparents, and their parrot, but soon she'll have to say goodbye. The end of summer means returning home to start school on another shore. Before she leaves, her grandfather gives her the perfect gift. It's something with the power to make people dance as fast as the wings of a hummingbird- a g ira. Angelica falls in love with this musical instrument, though nobody shares her enthusiasm at first. "What is that sound," they say, "pennies inside a tin cup?" But on a hot, sunny day, in the land of Washington Heights, where the frio frio woman scrapes ice for a long line of customers and the men on the corner plunk dominoes on a makeshift carboard table, Angelica shows her neighbors the power of la g ira.

Angelica and la G ira lovingly explores music and community, the wisdom and guidance of our elders, and the joy and freedom of dancing in the street. No matter where we are, music brings us closer to home. Don't miss the English-language edition of this book, Angelica and la G ira.
