They really helped tell the story. I also admired that the Spanish version was printed so that the story could be told and read in Spanish as well. This is a great story that shows that things aren’t always the way we are told that they are. It was admirable that Prietita overlooked dan-ger in order to help her mother. ( ) This book was okay. I thought it might be a little scary for some kids, so you would need to make sure this went to 5th and 6th graders. This is a book based on a Mexican legend about a ghost that is supposed to heal people, so I think the ghost aspect might be a little scary for some kids. But, overall the book was good, and like I have noticed with all of the Latino books, the illustrations are amazing.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_E._Anzald%C3%BAa Illustrator Gonzalez uses a dark palette to tell the story of a young girl in search of healing herbs to help her mother. Prietita is guided to safety by la Llorona when she becomes lost. This is a feminist version of the Mexican folk tale, and Gonzalez uses strong female characters to illustrate the story. She captures the essence of the kind and knowing healer—la curandera. Gonzalez also uses many modern and ancient symbols found in Mexico and the border states, such as chiles, garlic, prickly pear cactus, and jaguarundi. She includes swirls of yellow to indicate movement that help the stories flow and signify Prietita’s journey. Gonzalez’s illustrations nicely complement Anzaldúa’s text keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
