Spanish Books: Engle, Margarita - Una niña, un tambor, un sueño (A Child, A Drum, A Dream))
Hace muchas anos, en una isla musical, las mujeres no podian tocar los tambores. Pero una nina sonaba con hacerlo. Pactico y practico hasta ques demostro que su musica debia ser oida y que todas las mujeres tenian derecho a tocar los tambores y sonar.
In her city of drumbeats, she dreamed of pounding tall congas and tapping small bongós. She had to keep quiet. She had to practice in secret. But when at last her dream-bright music was heard, everyone sang and danced and decided that both girls and boys should be free to drum and dream.
Inspired by the childhood of Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, a Chinese-African-Cuban girl who broke Cuba's traditional taboo against female drummers, Drum Dream Girl tells an inspiring true story for dreamers everywhere.
