Reviews

Narrative poems in free verse capture the rhythms and uniqueness of Southwest and its culture as seen through the eyes of a Mexican-American girl. The beauty of the natural world is captured in Sanchez's acrylic illustrations. A welcome addition. -- School Library Journal This collection of poems is as much fun to look at as it is to read. A good choice for choral reading or for reading aloud. -- Booklist Mora's poems reflect vividly the Mexican-American culture and life in the desert Southwest... Pat Mora can evoke the desert and its features and creatures better than any other poet. -- El Paso Herald-Post Children's Books Mean Business, Children's Book Council (CBC) Choices, Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
