Estella can't help but giggle when she sees her neighbors, Dona Rosa and Dona Maria, shaking their hips while dancing and sweating at an exercise class at the community recreation center. A few days later, when her mother complains about gaining weight, Estella encourages her to join the class.

Every day after school, Estella enjoys watching the women dance to the rhythmic music. And she's especially thrilled when the instructor invites her to join them in dancing salsa.

But one day, kids are banned from the class, and Estella is forced to go to a boring crafts class instead. She'd much rather be dancing So when Estella learns that women had to fight to gain the right to vote, she decides she'll petition for kids' rights to enjoy salsa dance classes at the community center

In this bilingual picture books for children ages 5-9, a young girl learns that dancing is good for fun and fitness, and that even kids can change the way things are done.
