¡Nos vamos de parranda! (We're Going on a Parranda!)

En este encantador y enérgico cuento navideño, una niña descubre su propio ritmo mientras participa con su familia en una parranda (un canto de villancicos y aguinaldos puertorriqueños). Disponible en español y perfecto para los fans de De aquí como el coquí and Pepe y el desfile. Durante la temporada navideña, una niña se une por primera vez a una parranda con su familia. Los parranderos viajan de casa en casa, cantando y bailando al son de sus canciones navideñas favoritas. La niña intenta cantar y tocar diferentes instrumentos, pero ninguno suena del todo bien. Al acercarse el final de la parranda, ella se empieza a preocupar que nunca va a encontrar su propio ritmo... hasta que un regalo especial de Papi la ayuda a comprender que la música siempre ha estado dentro de ella, es la música del corazón. A little girl discovers her own unique rhythm while going on a parranda (Puerto Rican Christmas caroling) with her family in this charming and energetic Navidad story that integrates Spanish words, perfect for fans of Coquí in the City and Pepe and the Parade. During the holiday season, a little girl joins her family on a parranda for the first time. The parranderos arrive at each new home, singing and dancing to their favorite Christmas songs. The little girl tries singing and playing different instruments, but nothing seems quite right. As the night nears its end, she starts to worry she'll never find a rhythm of her own—until a special gift from Papi helps her realize that la música del corazón (the music of the heart) has been inside her all along!
