<DIV><B>La Paz is a happy, but noisy village. A little peace and quiet would make it just right.</B><br></br>So the villagers elect the bossy Don Pepe as their mayor. Before long, singing of any kind is outlawed. Even the teakettle is afraid to whistle!<br></br><br></br>But there is one noisy rooster who doesn't give two mangos about this mayor's silly rules. Instead, he does what roosters were born to do.<br></br><br></br>He sings: <br></br> "Kee-kee-ree-KEE!" <br></br><br></br>Carmen Deedy's masterfully crafted allegory and Eugene Yelchin's bright, whimsical mixed-media paintings celebrate the spirit of freedom -- and the courage of those who are born to sing at any cost.</DIV>
