Synopsis
While a symphony of sounds and smells wafted from her mamá’s kitchen, Catalina Valentina Corazón De La Luna discovers her papi’s old violin. Perplexed why it doesn’t play music when she tries it, her mamá tells her "sometimes learning something new takes LOTS of practice, and sometimes we must learn them by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
"Giants?" asked Catalina. "Where can I find a giant?"
"In books, in schools, sometimes even closer to home...they're all around us."
Catalina ventures around her Peruvian neighborhood in search of a giant to teach her how to play and learns that not only practice, but a little bravery, a lot of heart, and the magic of the moon are necessary ingredients to make beautiful music.
Infused with the tradition of magical realism in Latin American literature, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants is an illustrated love letter to Peru and pays homage to the teachers in our lives who share their knowledge and walk alongside us to help us learn something new.
