CCBC Review:
Brilliantly colored oil, acrylic and gouache paintings illustrate scenes from the Chicana artist's childhood in Kingsville, Texas. Details from traditional Mexican American family with Aztec roots and community life abound in the naive-style illustrations, as well as in the accompanying explanatory passages printed in both English and Spanish. ©1990 Cooperative Children's Book Center
