5.0 out of 5 stars
from Kirkus Reviews, July 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Manuela's Gift (Hardcover)
"In this impressive first effort from two newcomers, Manuela longs for a new yellow dress for her birthday."
"The text is gentle, a fine contrast to the striking paintings in gold, aqua, terra cotta, and green, which use decorative patterns to capture the flavor of Mexico and strong portraiture to show the loving relationships in the family. The images are so compelling that readers will want more time to savor them before the tension in the text forces them forward."
