Book excerpt: Lalo Guerrero, the Father of Chicano Music, created "Pancho Claus" in a children's song he composed and first recorded in 1956 and that remains a beloved holiday song to this day. Those lyrics, with minor changes, are in this book with illustrations from world-renowned artist and Hollywood designer Bob Mackie. The beautifully drawn depictions capture the holiday traditions of one East Los Angeles Mexican-American family of that bygone era. Coupled with the original recording available on the album, "Lalo Guerrero: Pancho Claus & Other Holiday Favorites," this children's story will be enjoyed and cherished for generations to come. Find out why!
