Oye, Celia!: A Song for Celia Cruz

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Edel Rodriguez. A girl carrying her favorite Celia Cruz record comes upon a neighborhood dance party. This celebration of the Queen of Salsa lyrically weaves in touches of Cuban history. Sciurba's rhythmic text nicely evokes Cruz's music, and Rodriguez's supple pastel, acrylic, and oil illustrations portray a party atmosphere. Track down a Cruz recording to listen to after reading the book. Glos.
