World Kid Lit Month 2021: CUBA

CUBA: 

Drum dream girl: how one girl's courage changed music. 

By Margarita Engle; illustrations by Rafael López. 

Follows a young Cuban girl in the 1930s as she strives to become a drummer, despite being continually reminded that only boys play the drums, and that there's never been a female drummer in Cuba. Includes note about Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, who inspired the story, and Anacaona, the all-girl dance band she formed with her sisters.
