³Children of the World:
Guatemala; RonnieCummins and Rose
Welch (1990) ---
12 oz more.
One of my favorites, perhaps because I first learned about this book from
Maria (the girl on the cover) herself. She proudly unwrapped a
copy of the book when my husband and I showed a real interest in the
traditions and weavings of Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. The book
is a fun story a Mayan girl's (Maria's) life and dreams in the
uplands of Guatemala. This is the area where many of Terra
Experience's Huipils
(blouses) are woven. Women weave the cloth for their Huipils on a
back-strap loom and then hand-embroider beautiful birds and flowers.
The book has many good pictures and descriptions of Santiago Atitlan,
Maria's family, her home, the local market and Lake Atitlan. The book provides a wonderful way to introduce a child to
the Mayan culture and every-day life in Guatemala. It is part of the The
Children of the World book series.

³Pancho’s Piñata,
Stefan Czernecki and Timothy
Rhodes
(1992), 44 pp [ages 4-8].
A fictional, original tale with illustrations in the Mexican folk
art tradition. On Christmas Eve in a small Mexican village, a little
boy, Pancho, rescues a beautiful star ensnared atop a cactus.
His reward is the gift of happiness.
Many years later, he decides to pass on this wondrous gift to the
children of his village. It’s a story in the Christmas tradition that
emphasizes the joys and rewards of giving.
A fun tale with a Mexican setting,, but the story-line is more in
the North American tradition.

³A Life of Their

Good story of an actual weaving family in
San Antonio Aguas Caliente near Antigua in the 1970s. Helps students
understand what an anthropologist does. I enjoyed reading especially
since one of my weaving friends husbands saw his picture as a small boy
at school. Black and white photos add to text. If you have
visited Antigua, you have probably visited San Antonio Aguas Caliente,
known for its fine weaving.

De Colores and Other Latin-American
Folk Songs for Children; Jose-Luis Orozco, Elisa Kleven. illustrator
(1994), 56 pp [ages 4-adult],
24 oz more
A wonderfully illustrated book of Latin American children's song's chants and
rhymes. The 27 songs are in Spanish with English translations. I
have heard my friends from Guatemala and Mexico begin to recite "El
Chocolate" as they talk about making and drinking chocolate. Many mothers
repeat "Sana Sana" as they rub a hurt and comfort a small child." And
at Christmas and birthday's the "La Pinata" song becomes a
favored chant. The book includes simple musical arrangements for
piano, voice and guitar. There are also short descriptions of how
the song is used in every-day life and again, wonderful illustrations by
Elisa Kleven.

information is good. But I wonder if children will enjoy the book as much
as the adult that might read it to them.

This is a
"how to" book. If you want to figure out how to make traditional crafts
from Mexico and Central America with kids this is a great book for you.
There are good pictures and explanations for how to make 8 different
crafts including Guatemalan weaving and Worry Dolls. The book
lacks in depth discussion of how these crafts fit into the culture.
There is a bibliography for further reading that includes many of the books
Terra Experience sells. I'd also suggest Anderson's Mayan Arts &
Crafts from Guatemala coloring book, Ronnie Cumming's Children of the
World Guatemala, and Waterlow's A Family from Guatemala.

³Beneath the Stone: A Mexican Zapotec Tale; Bernard Wolf (1994) 16 oz
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.
