I know I’m not the only one who fell in love with Selena the first time I heard her music.

It’s often hard to talk about the end of Selena’s life, especially with children, but López focuses on the joy and accomplishments in Selena’s life, with just a brief mention of her untimely death.

From Manuel's list on books that are perfect for your kids during Hispanic Heritage Month.
This inspiring picture book explores and celebrates Selena’s life while underscoring the struggles she overcame in both her personal life and the music industry.

I gave this book to my friend’s sister who truly became empowered by López’s writing and Selena’s story and ultimately told me how she wants to learn how to sing because of her. Representation matters!
From Kali's list on to introduce kids to music.
