In Bolivia, Pepito, Pablo, and Luciana's home overflows with laughter, tickles, and Mam 's bedtime song. Though toys are few, Pepito's heart is full of music. But when illness and hardship force Pap to sell their belongings-even Mam 's guitar-the music fades. When Pepito is called "trash," a kicked bottle sings out hope. Using discarded bottles and cans, rice, and even a stick, Pepito transforms trash into music and his dream into a band. This bilingual Spanish/English story about resilience, creativity, and family reminds every child: you are more than what you or others may see; you are a treasure.

Includes a fun craft: How to make a kazoo.
