Beneath the Stone: A Mexican Zapotec Tale

  Bernard Wolf

 Price: $16.95, hardback 

Description:          An excellent child’s eye perspective of life in a Zapotec Indian village, Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico.  This village is a well-known center of tapetes, beautiful rugs and tapestries that are hand-woven on a floor loom with patterns similar to North American Indians.  The photos are clear with a perspective that kids should be able to relate to and create a wonderful mosaic of the elements of a Zapotec Indian family’s life.  The writing provides a simple, but dynamic explanation of this mosaic that is, again, kid directed.  This book is one I  highly recommend.

Age:                            5 – 11 (K – 6^th)

Key words:                Weaving, Mexico, Zapotec Indians, Social life and customs; A child’s life today, Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca
