(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Fabricio VandenBroeck. At the narrator’s father’s music store, "people come...to buy dreams and memories." Customers stop by and tell their stories (a series of linked free-verse poems), each connecting to a Latin musical style or dance. Illustrations accompanying the girl's narration are in black and white while the visitors' tales appear in vibrant color. A useful author's note is appended.
