"The Spanish text is both conversational and informative, liberally using such words as 'giraban, ' 'vibraban, ' and 'meneaba, ' which will allow readers to feel the electricity of this music and dance move as they read." --Booklist Millie danced to jazz in her Italian neighborhood. Pedro danced to Latin songs in his Puerto Rican neighborhood. It was the 1940s in New York City, and they were forbidden to dance together . . . until first a band and then a ballroom broke the rules. Machito and His Afro-Cubans hit the scene with a brand-new sound, blending jazz trumpets and saxophones with Latin maracas and congas to create Latin jazz, music for the head, the heart, and the hips. Then the Palladium Ballroom issued a bold challenge to segregation and threw open its doors to all. Illustrated with verve and told through real-life characters who feature in an afterword, 癒Mambo Mucho Mambo! portrays the power of music and dance to transcend racial, religious, and ethnic boundaries.

Art Education Through Religion
Art Education Through Religion is a series of graded textbooks on art and industrial design developed in the late 1920s by Mary Gertrude McMunigle, who was Director of Art for the Diocese of Pittsburgh at the time. This endeavor was overseen by two priests: Rev. Paul E. Campbell, A.M. LitD, who was then superintendent of Parochial Schools for the Pittsburgh Diocese, and Rev. Raymond V. Kirk, A.B. PhD, Dean of the College of Education of Duquesne University. Yes, this art curriculum actually has an imprimatur!Each lesson aims to improve the student's appreciation and skill in art, while at the same time imparting both spiritual and character objectives. Therefore the use of this series trains not only the eye, but the whole person, including the intellect and will. Students gain knowledge, self-control, accuracy, reverence, helpfulness and good manners, as well as many other useful life skills.Book Three introduces techniques in composition through basic concepts such as establishing a point of interest and guiding the eye of the viewer. Emphasis is placed on the discernment of pleasing proportion and color use, through activities that explore measurement for the sake of accuracy in design and further color theory. Purity and beauty of color and design is related to purity and beauty of the soul as the student explores topics of conscience and the sacraments. **An important note**: though the levels were designed to correspond with grades one through eight, they work best as a system. If a student in the third grade or above begins to use this series for the first time, it is recommended that they begin at least one or two levels previous to their current grade level, and not later than level five. Many of the concepts introduced at the upper grade levels may prove frustrating to successfully master without the foundations laid in these earlier grades.

Sometimes all it takes is one little spark to stoke artistic energy and may come in the form of daily prompts, weekly challenges, or even playing a game of blackout BINGO. It begins the process of exploring materials, parameters, layouts, colors, mood, a subject, or pet- peeves and personal favorites. Having a problem or task to solve lights the fire, providing boundaries to push against, an opportunity to see things differently, an idea for a first step. Take it! And get carried away...
