About the Book
Celebrate
music icon Carlos Santana in this vibrant, rhythmic picture book from the
author of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book Muddy:
The Story of Blues Legend Muddy Waters.
Carlos Santana loved to listen to his
father play el violín. It was a sound that filled the world with
magic and love and feeling and healing—a sound that made angels real. Carlos
wanted to make angels real, too. So he started playing music.
Carlos tried el clarinete and el
violín, but there were no angels. Then he picked up la guitarra. He
took the soul of the Blues, the brains of Jazz, and the energy of Rock and
Roll, and added the slow heat of Afro-Cuban drums and the cilantro-scented sway
of the music he’d grown up with in Mexico. There were a lot of bands in San
Francisco but none of them sounded like this. Had Carlos finally found the
music that would make his angels real?
