(3) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Illustrated by Domi. Napí and her family must leave their village, which is soon to be flooded when the Mexican government builds a dam. Her Mazateca people create a new village by clearing the land set aside for them. Based on her own childhood experience, Domi's story speaks to the treatment of indigenous peoples everywhere. Brightly colored folk-art-style paintings illustrate the text. Glos.
