¡ Mambo Mucho Mambo! The Dance That Crossed Color Lines

In 1940s New York, a young Italian girl named Millie and a Puerto Rican boy named Pedro each love to dance in their own neighborhoods, but city laws forbid them from sharing the dance floor. When the band Machito and His Afro-Cubans creates a new sound that blends jazz and Latin rhythms, a groundbreaking ballroom opens its doors and challenges the old segregation rules. The story follows Millie and Pedro as they help unite their communities through the irresistible beat of mambo and Latin jazz. This picture-book shows how music and dance can break down color lines and bring people together.
