Today's the day! Rosa will take the stage next to her
mami and play along with her popular mariachi band.
But as they fasten the shiny botonaduras and tie the
moños on their charra suits, Rosa begins to worry.
What if the audience doesn't like her? Is she ready to perform?
With her mamiachi and madrinas by her side, Rosa's
stage fright is soothed away by the sound of trumpets, guitars,
and violins. Centering on the power of sisterhood, community,
and music, the warm and lively text by mother-and-son writing
duo Jolene and Dakota Gutiérrez—joined by Mirelle Ortega's
beautiful illustrations—provides a unique perspective to the
male-dominated world of mariachi.
Back matter includes additional context on the history of the
beloved Mexican tradition and the rise of all-female mariachi
groups, as well as a glossary, a bibliography, further reading,
and a fun, detailed look at a mariachi's signature charro suit!
Book, 40 pages.
