This book plus CD combo tells the story Alexandre, a young boy living in a bleak industrial community who's life is transformed when a circus caravan rolls into town. He falls in love with the beautiful Andalusian Elena who introduces him to a circle of musicians and when they put a guitar in his hands and ask him to play along while Elena's older sister dances flamenco, everyone, including Alexandre is surprised to discover he is a gifted musician. The book is beautifully illustrated by Lacombe and the CD features the audio version of the story which is accompanied by Spanish songs and rhythms. A beautiful project all around. ( )
