La Mariachi

It's the 1970s, and in Tuchi's community mariachi is for boys only -- but Tuchi longs to play with the school's mariachi band. When she discovers her grandmother's old guitarron tucked away at home, Nana secretly begins teaching her to play.

As audition day approaches, Tuchi must find the courage to prove that mariachi belongs to her too. A heartfelt, own-voices picture book about perseverance, family legacy, and breaking down gender expectations.
