From the award-winning author-illustrator team that brought us De Colores and Diez Deditos, here is a collection of songs of celebration from the Spanish-speaking world. Presented in both Spanish and English and including basic musical accompaniment, the songs honor Latin American holidays such as Cinco de Mayo and Carnival as well as more universal holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, Mother's Day, and more.
