Una niña aprovecha el poder de la mĂșsica para acortar la distancia entre la RepĂșblica Dominicana y Washington Heights. Este es un debut inolvidable en el gĂ©nero infantil de Angie Cruz, ganadora de mĂșltiples premios y autora de la exitosa novela Dominicana.
AngĂ©lica ha pasado todo el verano en la RepĂșblica Dominicana con sus tĂas y primas, sus abuelos y con la cotorra de al lado. Pronto, tendrĂĄ 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 rĂĄpido como las alas de un picaflor: una gĂŒira. AngĂ©lica se enamora de esta lata sin fondo y peine de hojalata que mantiene el ritmo, aunque al principio nadie parece compartir su entusiasmo. âÂżQuĂ© es ese sonido?â dicen. âÂżCentavos dentro de una lata?â. Pero un dĂa soleado y caluroso en la tierra de Washington Heights, donde la mujer del frĂo-frĂo raspa hielo para una larga fila de clientes y los hombres de la esquina estrellan fichas de dominĂł en una improvisada mesa de cartĂłn, AngĂ©lica les muestra a sus vecinos el poder de la gĂŒira.
ÂĄAngĂ©lica y la gĂŒira explora con cariño y ternura la mĂșsica y la comunidad, asĂ como la sabidurĂa y guĂa de nuestros mayores y la alegrĂa y libertad de bailar en la calle! Este libro tambiĂ©n disponible en inglĂ©s bajo el tĂtulo AngĂ©lica and la GĂŒira.
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.
AngĂ©lica has spent the summer in the Dominican Republic with her tĂas and primas, her grandparents, and their parrot, but soon sheâll 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 gĂŒira. AngĂ©lica falls in love with this musical instrument, though nobody shares her enthusiasm at first. âWhat is that sound,â they say, âpennies inside a tin cup?â But on a hot, sunny day, in the land of Washington Heights, where the frĂo frĂo woman scrapes ice for a long line of customers and the men on the corner plunk dominoes on a makeshift carboard table, AngĂ©lica shows her neighbors the power of la gĂŒira.
AngĂ©lica and la GĂŒira 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, AngĂ©lica and la GĂŒira.
