Tomás Baila el Tango

On a cobblestone street in La Boca, two feet learn to fly.

Ages 5–9Hardcover · 32 pagesBilingual sprinkles 💬

Tomás's abuela says tango isn't in the feet — it's in the heart. With a squeaky bandoneón playing and the painted houses of La Boca watching, Tomás takes his very first eight steps.

Three fun things you'll learn

  • Tango was born in the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires over 100 years ago.
  • The bandoneón is like an accordion's cousin, and it sounds a little sad on purpose.
  • La Boca's houses are painted in every color because sailors used leftover ship paint.
