From the creators of Paletero Man—Latin Grammy–winning musician Lucky Diaz and celebrated artist Micah Player—comes a story about a tenacious girl who achieves her wildest dreams with a little help from her community and a broken guitar.
Strum! Strum! Strum! Get ready to rock with la guitarrista!
When Canta finds a guitar in the trash, she is one step closer to becoming a rock star. Even though the guitar is broken and she doesn’t know how to play, nothing can stop Canta from going after her dreams!
Perfect for fans of Because and We Will Rock Our Classmates, readers will rock out to this empowering tale of resilience, community, the power of music—and never giving up on your dreams.
The book includes Spanish words and phrases throughout, an author’s note from Lucky Diaz, and a link to the song inspired by the book.
Lucky Diaz is a Grammy Award-winning, multi–Latin Grammy-winning author, musician, and taco lover whose storytelling spans music, television, and literature. As a first-generation Mexican American, his work celebrates identity, joy, and community, bringing vibrant, bilingual narratives to young readers.
His debut picture book, Paletero Man, became an instant classic, earning starred reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and ALA Booklist. Recognized for its heartfelt storytelling and cultural richness, the book established Lucky as a dynamic voice in children’s literature. All his picture books, including La Guitarrista and his most recent, Fix-It Familia, continue his mission of uplifting Latiné stories.
Before entering the literary world, Lucky redefined family entertainment as the frontman of Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band. His trailblazing career in children’s music earned historic Grammy and Latin Grammy wins and acclaim from Billboard, NPR, and the New York Times. His Emmy-winning PBS series, Lishy Lou and Lucky Too, showcased his creativity in children’s television.
Lucky lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Alisha, their daughter, Indiana, and their dog, Django.
Micah Player began his career designing and illustrating for Paul Frank Industries in Southern California. He is the author of Chloe, Instead and the illustrator of several books and games for children, including Paletero Man by Lucky Diaz. He lives in a little house beneath a giant tree in the Utah mountains, with a lovely schoolteacher named Stephanie. They are the parents of two rad kids, one Yorkshire terrier, and several Casio keyboards. micahplayer.com
