Alicia de Larrocha: La Pianista de Manos Mágicas

Alicia de Larrocha is considered one of the best pianists of all times. Her passion for music began very early. She gave his first recital at the age of five and made her debut at twelve in Madrid. Her career, which led her to play in the best theater halls in the world, was dizzying, giving more than a hundred concerts a year. Despite the countless awards she received, she remained a humble person who dedicated her life to sharing her innate talent. In her own words, she just wanted others to enjoy the music as she did. Both the narrative register and the style of the images are suitable for readers from 7 years old. The text and images ensure that they deal with didactic themes that cut across the character's areas of activity, both for reading as a family and for use in schools and to reinforce the educational programme.
