Overview

Inspirado en historias de la infancia de su madre, la célebre autora Margarita Engle y el premiado artista John Parra, han creado un vibrante libro ilustrado sobre como una jovencita y su familia encuentran alegría en la música que entraba por su ventana. Eloísa ama la música, pero como su familia es muy humilde, solo puede escuchar los ritmos y melodías que entran cuando abre su ventana. Pajaritos y gatos, con sus voces, entonan coros a diario, y canciones de la radio del vecino flotan en el aire. En la calle, los niños agitan maracas y producen ritmos con tambores bongós, un laúd, un cencerro y un güiro, en fin, una orquesta. Los sonidos del vecindario es música suficiente para Eloísa, pero cuando su mamá se enferma y a su familia se le dificulta comprar medicinas, ¿podrá la música aliviarla del mismo modo en que consuela a Eloísa?

A harmonious triumph.""--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW ""Based on family stories that Engle's mother once shared about her childhood in Cuba, this tale celebrates the power of music, family, and community. . . .Parra's digitally enhanced acrylic paintings have the directness, the warmth, and narrative quality of folk art, while placing the story within a distinctive setting. A heartening picture book.""--Booklist ""Engle's lyrical text describes noises from the neighborhood animals and the traditional Cuban instruments the musicians play. Parra's distinctive hand-painted and digitally collaged art features characters with different skin tones and uses a pleasantly washed-out palette for backgrounds.""--Horn Book ""Focusing on music's power to heal and uplift . . . young Elo�sa finds comfort in music as her mother tries to recover from a serious illness . . . Parra's signature-style illustrations portray the child sitting at a window with green bars as the community sweetens a difficult time, uplifting Elo�sa and her family--and eventually giving way to unfettered connection outside the home.""--Publishers Weekly"
