A young girl harnesses the power of music to bridge the distance between the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights in this jubilant picture book debut by Angie Cruz, bestselling and awardwinning author of Dominicana.Anglica has spent the summer in the Dominican Republic with her tas and primas, her grandparents, and their parrot, but soon shell have to say goodbye. The end of summer means returning home to start school on another shore. Before she leaves, her grandfather gives her the perfect gift. It's something with the power to make people dance as fast as the wings of a hummingbird: a gira. Anglica falls in love with this musical instrument, though nobody shares her enthusiasm at first. What is that sound, they say, pennies inside a tin cup? But on a hot, sunny day, in the land of Washington Heights, where the fro fro woman scrapes ice for a long line of customers and the men on the corner plunk dominoes on a makeshift carboard table, Anglica shows her neighbors the power of la gira.Anglica and la Gira lovingly explores music and community, the wisdom and guidance of our elders, and the joy and freedom of dancing in the street. No matter where we are, music brings us closer to home. Available in English and Spanish.
