An exuberant picture book celebrating the life and legacy of Selena Quintanilla, beloved Queen of Tejano music.

From a very early age, young Selena knew how to connect with people and bring them together with music. Sing with Me follows Selena's rise to stardom, from front-lining her family's band at rodeos and quinceañeras to performing in front of tens of thousands at the Houston Astrodome. Young readers will be empowered by Selena's dedication--learning Spanish as a teenager, designing her own clothes, and traveling around the country with her family--sharing her pride in her Mexican-American roots and her love of music and fashion with the world.
Diana López is the author of the adult novella Sofia's Saints as well as of numerous middle grade novels, including Confetti Girl, Nothing Up My Sleeve, Lucky Luna, and the Los Monstruos trilogy, which includes Felice and the Wailing Woman, Rooster and the Dancing Diablo, and Ava and the Owl Witch. She is also the author of the picture book Sing With Me: The Story of Selena Quintanilla, and she also wrote the novel adaptation for the Disney/Pixar film Coco. Diana retired after a twenty-eight-year career in education at both the middle grade and college levels, but she still enjoys meeting with students when she visits schools to chat about books and writing. She lives in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. Many of her books are available in English and Spanish, and you can learn more at DianaLopezBooks.com. View titles by Diana López
