Juan Garcia Esquivel was born in Mexico and grew up to the sounds of mariachi bands. He loved music and became a musical explorer. Defying convention, he created music that made people laugh and planted images in their minds. Juan's space-age lounge music--popular in the fifties and sixties--has found a new generation of listeners. And Duncan Tonatiuh's fresh and quirky illustrations bring Esquivel's spirit to life.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
When Juan García Esquivel was a small boy, he lived with his family in Tampico, Mexico, where whirling mariachi bands let out joyful yells as they stamped and strummed.
By age six, Juan was curious about music. There was a piano at Juan’s house, but it was a player piano—a paper roll told it which keys to play.
Clever Juan had an idea. He disabled the paper roll and turned his parents’ jangly piano into one he could practice on. He played it day and night.
