Illustrations and poetic text follow a girl in the 1920s as she strives to become a drummer, despite being continually reminded that only boys play the drums, and that there has never been a female drummer in Cuba. Includes notes about Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, who inspired the story, and Anacona, the all-girl dance band she formed with her sisters.
