description: La Paz is a happy but noisy village. A little peace and quiet would make it just right. 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!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.He sings: Kee-kee-ree-KEE! 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.
