Follows a young Cuban girl in the 1930s as she strives to become a drummer, despite being continually reminded that only boys play the drums, and that there's never been a female drummer in Cuba. Includes note about Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, who inspired the story, and Anacaona, the all-girl dance band she formed with her sisters.

Gorgeously colorful and fluid illustrations that move with the poem and add to it's verbal liveliness. Not enough back matter to truly know more about this real-life drummer, but an uplifting tale beautifully rendered.
