Sing, Don’t Cry

Angela Dominguez

Two grandchildren spend time with their visiting grandfather, a mariachi musician from Mexico. The story draws on advice he gave his family: when sadness or disappointment comes, singing can lift spirits and bring people closer. Their grandfather has experienced adversity while holding onto an optimistic outlook. Colored-pencil illustrations show the children sharing his company and guitar music during his visit, alongside family materials connected with his life and music.
