"Listeners will feel like Grammy Award-winning musician and author Diaz is smiling as he narrates his picture book. A young boy wanders the streets of Los Angeles on the hottest day of the year, searching for the Paletero Man so he can buy and enjoy a cold paleta. Rhythmic language, music, and lively sound effects add charm as he encounters the people in his neighborhood. Unbeknownst to him, he drops his change along the way, and when he finally finds the Paletero Man, he can't afford his treat. What will he do? This engaging and upbeat listening experience includes Spanish words woven throughout the story and a delightful song performed by Diaz.
An uplifting tale that celebrates diversity, determination, and kindness and will resonate with young listeners. (Picture book. 4-8)"
