A bilingual (Eng./Span.) children's book about the giant Nazca Lines in Peru and the woman who revealed them to the world. Authentic depictions introduce readers of all ages to the gigantic land figures and lines that Maria Reiche studied and worked to preserve for over 50 years. While the book does not try to tell the reader the purpose of these mysterious lines, it does mention several possible theories and the last page suggests Maria's idea that the land pictures are somehow connected to star constellations. The text is written in short, poetic lines and is easily readable in English or Spanish at an elementary level. An accompanying bilingual CD allows readers to hear the story in both languages. This one-of-a-kind, fully illustrated book is a stimulating resource for: -people of all ages wanting to learn English or Spanish, -Language Arts classes, -Social Studies classes, -young students wishing to research the mystery of these ancient land drawings, -parents of either language who enjoy reading to their chidren.
