Celebrate the life and legacy of Selena Quintanilla, the iconic Queen of Tejano Music, in this empowering picture book biography by Silvia López. Queen of Tejano Music: Selena introduces young readers to the beloved singer whose talent, determination, and passion broke barriers and inspired millions.

Selena’s journey began at just nine years old, singing in her family’s band with dreams as big as her voice. Despite the male-dominated world of Tejano music and the challenge of learning Spanish, Selena never gave up. With the support of her family—her father as mentor, her brother as songwriter, and her own vibrant energy on stage—Selena y Los Dinos rose to stardom.

Born and raised in Texas, Selena became a trailblazer for Latinx artists, breaking into mainstream American music and winning hearts across cultures. Her story encourages young readers to chase their dreams, embrace their roots, and believe in their voice.

Perfect for fans of music, Latinx history, and inspiring biographies, this beautifully illustrated book is ideal for children ages 4–8 and classrooms celebrating Hispanic heritage, women's history, or cultural icons.
