Book Synopsis

La escritora ganadora de un Honor Pura Belpré, Gloria Amescua, nos regala un dulce libro ilustrado que celebra a la familia y la música que nos conecta. Ahora disponible en español.

Cada noche, cuando el sol se despide, una madre le canta una canción de cuna muy especial a su pequeño bebé ¿Dónde está mi corazón? Aquí, aquí, aquí en mis brazos.

A medida que pasan los años, el niño pide su canción una y otra vez, hasta que se queda grabada en su corazón. Cuando el niño crece y se muda lejos de casa, les enseña la canción a sus hijas. Y ahora que abuelita viene de visita, las niñas preparan una sorpresa para ella: van a cantarle su canción, la canción del corazón.
