A heartening tale of finding one's voice--and summoning the courage to raise it. --Kirkus Reviews
The morning before Diez y Seis de Septiembre, Gloria's Papa wakes up with laryngitis. A disaster! The festivities cannot start without a loud grito to kick the party off--and a Hernandez has always yelled the grito for as long as anyone can remember.
When Gloria offers her own grito--and Papa backs her up--the mayor has to agree. But what has she done?! How will she find the courage to yell the grito with the heart it needs? Gloria needs some help from her community and her Papa to find her voice.

Critical Reviews
The hallmarks of the festivities power a story replete in Latino culture and traditions, while the tale of a family facing change when a father falls ill and can't shout the opening grito adds further value that libraries interested in both the celebration and the foundations of Mexican family and culture will appreciate.-- "Midwest Book Reviews" (12/15/2024 12:00:00 AM)
