Drum, Chavi,Drum!/Toca, Chavi, Toca! Mayra Dole (Author), Tonel Tonel (Illustrator) Chavi is determined to play the drums on the school float during Miami's Calle Ocho parade, but everyone--from her music teacher to her own loving mother--is convinced that because she is a girl, she cannot possibly be good enough. Chavi knows differently, and she practices on anything she can get her hands on: pans, paint cans, car hoods. She just knows she's good, and before the book is over, so does everyone else. [Grade Level: K - 3]
