Dancing Hands: How Teresa Carreno Played the Piano for President Lincoln by Margarita Engle, illustrated by Rafael Lopez
As a little girl, Teresa started playing the piano in her home country of Venezuela. She moved with her family to the United States during the Civil War where she used music to bring hope to people, even President Abraham Lincoln, earning the nickname “Piano Girl”. Evocative imagery in the writing paired with Lopez’s gorgeous, colorful illustrations make this a lovely sensory experience (from Imagination Soup: https://imaginationsoup.net/picture-books-hispanic-latine-heritage-month/]

I enjoy reading Dear Primo: A Letter to my Cousin by Duncan Tonatiuh with first graders and making papel picado out of tissue paper. They make beautiful decorations for the library.
