      About This Book

      The heartwarming story of a boy, all the things he holds dear, and the song that inspires him when he needs it most

      Sometimes hearing a song gives you all the courage you need for a day. That's what happens to Pedrito after a hurricane howls through his neighborhood and he has to give up his rescue dog. The moment his big brother starts strumming "Preciosa," a beautiful song about his beautiful island, Pedrito knows that somehow everything will be okay. . . .

      Pura Belpré Honor winner Carlos Aponte's love for Puerto Rico shines through his vibrant illustrations and touching story, which show the power of music and community to comfort and give strength.
