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
