Even though nobody in her Cuban-American neighborhood thinks girls should play the drums, Chavi knows she was born to play. She drums on paint cans, sofa arms, even on her mother’s cheeks. Her favorites are the tumbadoras, conga drums. So, when she’s not picked to play on the school float for Calle Ocho—Miami’s Eighth Street carnaval—she decides to do something about it! Mayra L. Dole’s plucky little musician will drum her way into the hearts of all young readers, who will add her to their list of favorite heroines. Tonel’s illustrations capture the flavor of Calle Ocho’s inhabitants and celebrations.

Aunque nadie en su barrio cubanoamericano piensa que las niñas deban tocar la batería, Chavi sabe que nació para tocarla. Tamborea sobre latas de pintura, brazos de sofá e incluso en las mejillas de su madre. Sus favoritas son las tumbadoras, las congas. Así que, cuando no la eligen para tocar en la carroza escolar de la Calle Ocho (el carnaval de la Calle Ocho de Miami), ¡decide hacer algo al respecto! La valiente pequeña música interpretada por Mayra L. Dole se ganará el corazón de todos los jóvenes lectores, quienes la añadirán a su lista de heroínas favoritas. Las ilustraciones de Tonel capturan la esencia de los habitantes y las celebraciones de la Calle Ocho.
