If you want to introduce children to the literature of Latin America, this volume of short stories is the best resource. Where Angels Glide at Dawn contains ten short stories by Latin America's modern authors. The authors are from Puerto Rico, Peru, Panama, and other Latin American countries. Thus the reader is given a wide range of cultural perspectives in reading the stories from such a diverse group.

Some of these stories are political in nature suc as The Rebellion of the Magical Rabbits which will keep you bowling over in laughter. Another story will show you at what lengths grown ups will go through to provide something spectacular for children. Still another story will deal with the hurt and war torn actions that go on in a country and its impact on the people.

You will find this collection interesting. Isabel Allende provides the book with a delightful introduction that carries us into the imagination of the authors. These are perfect bed time stories to read to your children but can also be used for reflection for adults.
