32 pp. | HarperCollins/Rayo | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-122783-7 $17.99
(2) K-3 Translated by Adriana Domínguez. Illustrated by Rafael López. A bilingual picture book charts the life of Tito Puente with all the exuberance of the drummer and bandleader's irresistible music. Vibrant imagery hums right off the page, full of high-contrast color and energetic composition, and decorated with swirling, starry embellishments. The treatment is not especially deep and is decidedly positive: Tito's life reads like a sequence of successes.
