A shy young girl learns to believe in herself, embrace her culture, and enjoy family time as she learns how to salsa. In the vein of Grandmas Records and Kitchen Dance, this delightful and vibrant picture book is perfect for reading aloud.Each Saturday night, Marisols family comes together to salsa! Everyone-from Mami and Papi to primos, abuelos, and tías-twirls and sways to the catchy rhythm.But ever since Marisol was a baby, her clumsy feet get twisted, and her moves get mixed up. Its better if she just sits and watches everybody else dance. Though, with a little help from Papi and some encouragement from her whole family, maybe Marisol can learn to feel the beat of the instruments from around the world.Acclaimed author Jackie Azúa Kramer and award-winning artist Elisa Chavarri tell a heartfelt story about confidence, family, and the music and culture of salsa.
