«Gilda para niñas y niños» is the illustrated children's book by Nadia Fink and Pitu Saá, published by Maime Mujer in paperback (24 pages, in Spanish).
It tells the life of Gilda, the cumbia singer and songwriter who knew from childhood that she wanted to dedicate herself to music. The work reviews her time in teaching, her arrival at dance halls, and how she renewed the image of women who sang cumbia. After her death, her followers attribute favors and miracles to her, and thus she became a popular saint.
It is the fifth title in the Otras Princesas collection, published in 2016 by Maime Mujer and Chirimbote.
Aimed at a children's audience, it brings the youngest closer to the story of Gilda, cumbia, and popular culture.
Nadia Fink is an Argentine author, journalist, and editor known for writing the works in the Anti-Princess Series of picture book biographies of Latin American women. After studying proofreading, she worked as a copyeditor at the magazine Sudestada, and later as a writer. An interest in countering what she perceived as harmful gender roles in children's literature led Fink to cofound the independent publisher Chirimbote and create the Anti-Princess Series in 2015.
