Lola's Fandango - the Perfect gift for your little one for the Holidays!

About the book:
Lola’s sister Clementina is good at everything. Lola wants to be good at something too — something that Clementina can’t do. Then she finds her Mom’s dancing shoes. Could she learn to dance? Could she surprise her family — and herself?

From start to finish,Lola’s Fandango is a family affair! The story is narrated by the Cambridge, MA based Amador Family, who also performs the lively flamenco music throughout the story. Written by Anna Witte and illustrated by Micha Archer, the book’s colorful pages inspire little ones to dance and dream along with Lola. An engaging story for children and parents that will keep them reading (and dancing) to the very last page.

In addition to an English version with storytime CD, Lola is also available in Spanish with storytime CD.

ORDER it HERE!
