From the moment of first reading this book, I was drawn in by the flowery language that described the life of a real person who influenced so many with her God-given talent. It, also, opens the door for discussion on why there are not more books for little girls of color to relate to. The illustrations and the language are absolutely "awesome" together.
I use this book in my elementary Spanish classes during Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 - Oct. 15). Some years I read it aloud to the students, followed by on-line videos of Celia herself. Other years, I assign a coop group to read the book, conduct research, and make a presentation about Celia Cruz to the class. The book is very appealing to the students and easy to read.
I am (...), so I couldn't read this by myself, but my mom read it to me. It was very good. I liked the pictures and the story of how she became the Queen of Salsa.
Books like these constitute treasures to share with your child. This book is no exception. It's prose and art make it a celebration to share every story time. My child loves to have it read to him almost as much as I love to read it; and we value the chance to celebrate Ms. Cruz's rich life every time.
My three year old granddaughter loves this beautiful tribute to the late great Celia Cruz. This children's book is loaded with beautiful imagery and it's full of vibrant colors. The story is well written and provides a very nice account of Celia Cruz's life. I would definitely recommend this lovely children's book to potential customers.
