Dancing Hands: How Teresa Carreño Played the Piano for President Lincoln by Margarita Engle

5.0

Aaaaahhhhh a fellow pianist! La Leona del Piano! This was great, a story of a talented little girl, of immigration, and of hope. The illustrations in here were great, lots of excellent symbolism about what Teresa was feeling. She is always surrounded by color (representing music), and I thought that was really powerful. I talk a lot about the illustrations in these books, but the text in this one was beautiful too-- so well written and flowing like poetry.
