* "A beautiful account of a young girl's bravery and her important contribution toward gender equality in the creative arts." -- Kirkus , starred review * "The heroine's tenacity in the face of naysayers will inspire all dreamers, and the illustrator's smile-inducing cameo on the last page emphasizes the universality of Millo's story...For those looking for more nonfiction titles about female musical powerhouses." -- School Library Journal , starred review "The text and illustrations work together beautifully here, creating a story that will imbue readers with inspiration and a yearning to make music of their own." --Booklist "A valuable addition to the growing library of stories about strong Latina women." --Publishers Weekly "With its emphasis on artistry and visual
