(2) K-3 Illustrated by Duncan Tonatiuh. Growing up in Mexico, Juan Garcia Esquivel got an earful of mariachi but wanted to create his own sound. His strange instrumentals and innovations in stereo sound came to define mid-twentieth-century lounge music. The story of Esquivel's rise is told with pep and a keen awareness of young readers. Tonatiuh's art (again in the tradition of the Mixtec codex) is fittingly offbeat. Reading list, websites.
