Praise for this book

"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

"Mora's poems reflect vividly the Mexican-American culture and life in the desert Southwest. . . Pat Mora can evoke the desert and its features and creatures better than any other poet." -- El Paso Herald-Post
