Mi Ciudad Sings

As a little girl and her dog embark on their daily walk through the city, they skip and spin to the familiar sounds of revving cars, clanking bikes, friendly barks, and whistling camote carts. But what they aren't expecting to hear is the terrifying sound of a rumbling earthquake... and then, for the first time ever in her city... silence.

In the aftermath, the spirit of her charming and vibrant Mexican neighborhood might be shaken, but it cannot be broken. Together, they rescue neighbors and clean up rubble as sirens and helicopters fill the air. When she finds the baker's dog whimpering in fear, the girls knows that she can help too, and reunites him with his owner. And as they work to rebuild what's fallen down, the city starts to sing again.

Based on the author's experience of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, this heartwarming story, with captivating text and lively, beautiful illustrations, shows readers that they can choose to be strong and brave even when they are scared, and can still find joy and hope in the midst of sadness.

This book is also available in a Spanish edition, Mi ciudad canta.
