(4) K-3 Photographs by Lawrence Migdale. This photo-essay tracks eleven-year-old Kristen as she prepares to play Mary in Las Posadas, the nine-day religious celebration leading up to Christmas. Most of the color photos are clear, but the layout is unattractive. The text's total immersion in the event's motifs and pieties is somewhat dry; more broadly appealing is Kristen's close-knit Hispanic-American family. Glos., ind.
