Un libro de cuentos ilustrado que celebra la vida y el legado de Selena Quintanilla, la querida Reina de la Mosica Tejana.

Desde su etapa mas temprana, la joven Selena sabia como conectarse con la gente y unirlos con la mosica.

Canta conmigo sigue su ascenso al estrellato, desde su puesto al frente de la banda familiar, cantando en rodeos y fiestas de quinceanera, hasta su presentaci n frente a miles en el Astrodomo de Houston.

Los lectores j venes se sentiran empoderados por la dedicaci n de Selena--aprendiendo el idioma espanol aon siendo adolescente, disenando su propio vestuario, y viajando por toda la naci n, compartiendo con el mundo el orgullo por sus raices mexico-americanas y su amor a la mosica y a la moda.

Reviews for Canta conmigo: La historia de Selena Quintanilla

New York Public Library Best Books for Kids * Corpus Christi native Lopez smartly focuses on the road that got Selena [Quintanilla] to her success and all the work and study that went into overcoming genre, racial, and gender divides in the music industry. She gets the details and tone right, whether it's in capturing her subject's passion for performing or simply sprinkling in Spanish words and phrases without overexplaining them. Martinez's illustrations capture the Quintanilla family's loving moments and convey extra information with the layering in of postcards, banners, street signs, and lyrics. A Spanish-language edition, translated by Carmen Tafolla, is equally on target, with careful phrasing and a warmth in tone. . . . A worthy, sparkling addition. -Kirkus Reviews, starred review * The energetic, bright cartoon illustrations depicting Selena and her family in various venues, decorated with rainbow notes, stars, hearts, and flowers will appeal to young readers. . . . Will inspire anyone who dreams of a career in the performing arts. -School Library Journal, starred review
