Just in time for summer, Lucky Diaz of The Lucky Band brings us a 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 a concert and book giveaway of Paletero Man. 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.
