(4) K-3 Velasquez tells the story of summers spent listening to recordings of Latin music with his grandmother in El Barrio. The story touches on issues of immigration, but the focus is on young Eric and his grandmother's shared love of music. Figures in the realistic oil paintings are sometimes stiff, but text and art tell a personal story of a special relationship.
