Description: A
soft-back book with an Introduction For Young People - Especially
those who were born in Guatemala!!! -
This book was written by Judy Otrogge, who says in her introduction for
kids " I am writing this book for you, and I hope you will find it
interesting. ... I'm going to tell you about Ana Maria and
Carlos. They, and their parents and two sisters live in
Guatemala. Their house is not big, just three rooms: one for
cooking, one for sleeping and one for having friends come over. ...
II hope that as you learn about Guatemala you will proud of where you were
born. It is a very special place... I hope that some of you will color the
pictures in this book. They should be colored brightly, with lots of
red...In these (rural) towns people talk Mayan languages and Spanish too.
... So, enjoy this book about your birth place."
The
author helped found the AGAND (The Guatemalan Association for Assistance
to Abandoned Children) and the book was originally published to help that
organization. Sadly the author recently wrote (11/2010) me that
AGAND has to close. She offered to sell me her last copies of the
book which is the supply I now have.
