The story of Teresa and her leaving Venezuela is inspiring. It's a story so relevant you forget that it took place in the 1850s and 60s. Through music, she sought to bring healing to a divided nation. She played for Abraham Lincoln! Today, playing for a president is so divisive. How nice it would be to go back to the times of Teresa Carreno. The illustrations are gorgeous! They are bright and colorful. They are used, in my opinion, as a way to depict Latin culture (which we associate with color and flowers) and show just how much she brought vibrancy to a saddened, a blue and gray, nation. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Winner of the Pura Belpr Illustrator Award A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book In soaring words and stunning illustrations, Margarita Engle and Rafael Lpez tell the story of Teresa Carreo, a child prodigy who played piano for Abraham Lincoln. As a little girl, Teresa Carreo loved to let her hands dance across the beautiful keys of the piano. If she felt sad, music cheered her up, and when she was happy, the piano helped her share that joy. Soon she was writing her own songs and performing in grand cathedrals. Then a revolution in Venezuela forced her family to flee to the United States. Teresa felt lonely in this unfamiliar place, where few of the people she met spoke Spanish. Worst of all, there was fighting in her new home, toothe Civil War. Still, Teresa kept playing, and soon she grew famous as the talented Piano Girl who could play anything from a folk song to a sonata. So famous, in fact, that President Abraham Lincoln wanted her to play at the White House! Yet with the country torn apart by war, could Teresa's music bring comfort to those who needed it most?

I think this is a great book to have in a primary classroom as an option to read. I don't think a lot of formal discussion needs to be had about this story but I love that it is a true story and I think students might find it interesting.
