* “An excellent addition to collections that can be included in celebrations of Latine Heritage Month or Poetry Month. Highly recommended for students who enjoy heartfelt books in verse, such as Aida Salazar’s Land of the Cranes and Kwame Alexander’s The Crossover.” —School Library Journal, starred review
“This vibrant collection edited by Salazar . . . celebrates Latinx traditions of connecting through song. Selections representing myriad countries, cultures, and musical genres—including rock, reggaeton, and cumbia—explore grief, bullying, gender and sexual identity, and belonging . . . Throughout, lyrical rhythm and intimate lines highlight the enduring and important role of storytelling in shaping communities and memories.” —Publishers Weekly
“In these stories, music works as a balm to heal or overcome family issues as well as to help people discover and remember who they really are. The distinct rhythm of Latine music and culture hums through this vibrant verse collection.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[Spans] nearly one hundred years, from the Great Depression to the present
day, but while characters go from listening to cassettes to streaming songs on their phones, the use of music as an act of escape, expression, and storytelling remains essential. As Salazar promises in her introduction, this is 'a soundtrack unlike any you’ve ever heard or read.' ” —The Horn Book
