Request this book from the Library What is a rebozo? It's a traditional Mexican shawl that has many traditional and creative uses. Some women us it as a wrap to carry their baby and others use it to protect themselves from the rain. Of course, the best way to use a rebozo is to wear it around your shoulders as a beautiful adornment or to keep warm. This book is a celebration of the vibrant culture of Mexico and the many imaginative ways a young girl and her family use a traditional Mexican woven shawl. The illustrations are lovely, informative and easy to understand. Librarian review written by Emilia

	Yum! mmmm! que rico! : Americas' sproutings Pat Mora (2007) , 32 pages Audience: Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Bilingual/Bilingue Gardening Libros en Español Multicultural Poetry
Request this book from the Library This new book is true to its title. It is a delicious compilation of haikus written by Pat Mora and beautifully illustrated by Rafael López. Each two-page spread features a different food such as corn, potatoes, and blueberries. The book features a short historical background on the food's origin, followed by a sweet haiku. The illustrations are large and colorful and complement the poems. Did you know that pumpkins were native to Central America? Or that Native Americans wove mats of dried pumpkin strips and roasted pumpkin slices to eat? These are some of the things you will learn from this very attractive book of short poems.
