Finding the Music

When Reyna accidentally breaks her grandfather's vihuela, a small guitar-like instrument, she sets out through her neighborhood to find someone who can repair it. Along the way she collects stories and mementos that reveal her Abuelito's legacy as a beloved mariachi musician. A kind music store owner offers a recording of his playing and a promise to fix the instrument together. Reyna returns home with new appreciation for her grandfather's influence and the music that unites her family and community. This bilingual English/Spanish picture book, brought to life with lively illustrations, celebrates family, heritage, and the enduring power of mariachi music.
