Drum Dream Girl

In a music-filled island, an unwritten rule held that girls couldn't drum. The Drum Dream Girl changed that. In her rhythm-rich city, she secretly practiced congas and bongos until her dream-bright music emerged. The island celebrated, realizing both girls and boys should drum and dream freely. Inspired by Millo Castro Zaldarriaga's childhood, this Pura Belpré Honor-awarded picture book shares an inspirational true story for dreamers, exploring women's and Hispanic history.
