(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gredna Landolt. Life in a traditional Andean village is depicted in a folkloric style as Carolina searches the market for the perfect gift for her abuelita. The colorful clothing of the village families, the items at the market, and the white-washed houses are shown in great detail. The simple, abruptly ending story includes Spanish and Quechua words, listed at the back of the book. Map.
