Just in time for summer, Lucky Diaz of The Lucky Band brings us a new picture story about kindness, community and, of course, paletas: Paletero Man. Based on the musical hit by the same name, enjoy a delightful read-aloud by Diaz followed by an interactive drawing demonstration by Micah Player. Paletero Man is written by Lucky Diaz, illustrated by Micah Player and published by HarperCollins; Available June 2021. On the hottest day of the year, you will surely hear the beloved ring-ring-ring of the paletero cart at the playground. What’s your favorite paleta flavor? For ages 5 and older.
