Reviews
The final event in the story weaves together the magic, mysticism, traditions, and strong familial culture that pump the heart of The Land of Enchantment. "Paloma and the Dust Devil at the Balloon Festival," however, echoes every child's imagination, regardless of culture. - Michael Hice on Amazon
I love, love, love this book! It's an enchanting tale, with beautiful illustrations, and it made me just a little bit teary and sentimental by the end of it. I highly recommend this wonderful book for all lovers of New Mexico, hot air balloons and the treasured power of family. - Silke Shilling
"I really liked the art." - Blake Miller, 12 year-old from Mansfield, Texas, on Amazon
