About The Book

Estos cuentos han viajado por largo tiempo -- sobre montañas, a través de mares y desiertos, llevados por el viento, contados por nuestros antepasados. Ahora llegan hasta ti.

Una astuta zorra, un pájaro de mil colores, una gaita alegre, y una jovencita audaz...Esta antología de cuentos populares celebra la cultura Hispánica y sus múltiples raíces -- indígena, africana, árabe, hebrea, y española.

F. Isabel Campoy y Alma Flor Ada han recontado doce cuentos estelares que reflejan la fuerza del espíritu y la extraordinaria herencia de los Latinos.

Cuatro ilustres artistas latinos enriquecen esta colección inolvidable.
