An engaging tale of Southwestern culture and traditions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My 5-year old daughter received this book as a gift and she and I absolutely love it. Not only does it wonderfully portray the diversity of two cultures and traditions (Native American and Mexican) and the caring relationship between a young girl and her abuela/grandmother, the illustrations add depth, color and vibrancy that reminds me of my Southwestern roots. San Miquel shows a unique ability to add warmth, depth and a vividness of color through her illustrations which I found engages the reader and and adds interest. A fantasic book for new readers. Every library should have one.

Ronnie's work on this book has given many of us a glimpse into the infrastructure of the cultural dimensions of the peoples that have lived and are still very much alive in the areas of Northern Mexico and The American Southwest.

Beautiful book!

This book will bring joy to children and adults alike. The story shows the closeness of a grandmother and grandchild while utilizing holistic values that have been a part of the Mexican and Native American tradition for hundreds of years. The illustrations are vibrant and exciting to the eyes and are definitely some of the best that I have seen in some time. Edna San Miguel (illustrator) goes beyond the normal (and sometimes dull)illustration techniques that we usually see and adds her own touch of talent and brilliancy that will keep you wanting more.
