En Bolivia, el hogar de Pepito, Pablo y Luciana rebosa de risas, cosquillas y la canción de Mamá. Aunque hay pocos juguetes, a Pepito le sobra música en el corazón. Pero cuando la enfermedad y las dificultades obligan a Papá a venderlo todo -hasta la guitarra de Mamá- la música calla. Cuando llaman a Pepito basura, una botella pateada canta sonidos de esperanza. Con su creatividad, botellas, latas, arroz y un palo, Pepito convierte lo que otros botan en música. Una historia bilingüe sobre resiliencia y familia que recuerda a cada niño: eres mucho más de lo que tú o los demás pueden ver; eres un tesoro.
Incluye una manualidad divertida: Cómo hacer un kazoo.
In Bolivia, Pepito, Pablo, and Luciana's home overflows with laughter, tickles, and Mamá's bedtime song. Though toys are few, Pepito's heart is full of music. But when illness and hardship force Papá to sell their belongings-even Mamá's guitar-the music fades. When Pepito is called trash, a kicked bottle sings out hope. Using discarded bottles and cans, rice, and even a stick, Pepito transforms trash into music and his dream into a band. This bilingual Spanish/English story about resilience, creativity, and family reminds every child: you are more than what you or others may see; you are a treasure.
Includes a fun craft: How to make a kazoo.
