Under the Mambo Moon!
Marisol and Papi's lives bounce with the beats!

In their music store,
Drums beat!
Guitars strum!
The zampona plays!
Feet tap
!
Arms wave!
Hearts beat!

Under the Mambo Moon by Julia Durango tells the story of Latin American Dance and Music through the eyes and ears of Marisol and Papi in their community of friends. In this story, told in blank verse poetry, the music and dance tell of dreams and memories that swivel, sizzle, stamp, and sway to the rhythms of mambo, salsa, samba, cha-cha, and more. You will discover where each of the beats and dances originate. Your feet may even decide to stomp and twirl along!

The Kids Wings unit will provide fun and interaction through puzzles, group projects, problem solving that builds skills for the whole class. Under the Mambo Moon! is an unusual celebration of our Latin American culture and an important part of every classroom and school library!
