 Dust-covered
boxes, old and forgotten furniture, and discarded treasures intrigue a young boy
exploring his grandfather’s garage. In the midst of this mine, he makes a
discovery more fascinating than treasure: a guitar with a neck rising like a
“black swan.”  When Tata opens the guitar case that once belonged to
his tata, a wealth of musical memories entrance the boy as the sound of the
guitar strings transform “musty moths into beautiful butterflies.” Tata
tells the boy about the posadas at Christmas, birthday melodies and he even
shares his memory of a special moonlight serenade.  As his fingers glide
along the frets, Tata paints the boy a picture of a world long-past. And with
his grandfather’s help, the boy will learn to create his own musical memories
for generations to come.  This bright bilingual picture book about the
magic of musical tradition will delight readers of all ages.  Readers will
treasure this bilingual book about the transmission of musical heritage.

School Library Journal : Kindergarten-Grade 2-A boy tells of finding an old guitar in his grandfather's garage. His tata sits down to play the instrument and tells him that it was given to him by his own grandfather years before. Providing glimpses at celebrations and family life, from romance to migrant work in the United States, the economical prose makes clear that in passing on the guitar, Tata is also passing along his heritage. Full-page pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations, though strong in line, are sometimes awkward in execution. The layout, with boxed English text above and Spanish text below, is attractive. The story reads aloud equally well in English and Spanish. Similar in its warm tone to Alma Flor Ada's I Love Saturdays y domingos (Atheneum, 2002), this is a serviceable tale of a loving intergenerational relationship.
