The Ancestors Are Singing

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Karen Barbour. Past and present come together in this collection of twenty-nine brief poems that pay homage to the history and culture of ancient Mexico, as well as voicing concerns and hopes about some of the country's contemporary struggles. Imagistic language and repetitive sounds give the verse a pleasing musicality for reading aloud. Black-and-white illustrations suggestive of folk art decorate every page. Glos.
