Shakira by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
5.0
This is a fantastic tribute to an inspiring Latina. I dare you to read it without shaking your hips or moving your lips!
Readers will learn about the origins of Shakira’s name, her introduction to the music and beats she’s now known for, as well as the pledge she’s followed through with upon reaching stardom. Her life may have begun under a shroud of grief, but little Shakira danced and sang her way out of it. In fact, she never stopped singing and is now known as the Queen of Latin Music.
Children will love the fantastic illustrations, some of the best I’ve seen in this series. With so much to feast their eyes upon, reading will have to follow at a slower pace!
This book is a perfect introduction to a discussion about what makes Shakira so popular. Discussions will include her desire to mix “English with Spanish, rock with pop, Indian clarinets with Arabic tambourines, old African riffs with fresh new beats” and in the process encourage everyone to enjoy sounds from around the world.
This book about a little Columbian girl who had a big dream is one you’ll want to purchase for all the little ones in your sphere of influence who can’t sit still because they, too, are full of rhythm.
