Fix-It Familia

From the creators of Paletero Man and La Guitarrista—Latin Grammy–winning musician Lucky Diaz and celebrated artist Micah Player—comes a rollicking and rhyming story about a boy and his family who have all the right tools to help their community.

No job is too big, no task is too small. We’re the Fix It Familia. We help one, we help all!

Chavo and his family are always there to lend a helping hand. So when the main parade float crashes at a neighborhood fiesta, Chavo has the perfect plan to help his community. With a load of creativity and a truck full of love, nothing can stop Chavo’s ideas from becoming reality! 

This empowering tale of resilience, community, and the power of creativity is perfect for lovers of all things construction tools and trucks. Fans of Saturday by Oge Mora, The Artivist by Nikkolas Smith, and Maybe Something Beautiful by F. Isabel Campoy, Theresa Howell, and Rafael López will also love this story.

The book includes Spanish words and phrases throughout and an author’s note from Lucky Diaz about his inspiration behind the story.

"Diaz, whose band won the 2025 Grammy award for Best Children's Music Album, brings a lyrical cadence to the story, a rhythm that will work effectively for storytimes and pairs well with Player’s vibrant illustrations." - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

"A joyful celebration of community and problem-solving at its finest. Themes of collaboration, perseverance, and positivity shine through. Rhyming stanzas give the story a whimsical rhythm that makes it perfect for read-alouds; youngsters will especially admire [the main character’s] can-do spirit." - Kirkus Reviews
