Blanca's Feather

32 pp. | Rising | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-87358-743-X $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gerardo Suzan. Rosalia cannot find her hen when it is time for the annual Blessing of the Animals, so she brings one of Blanca's feathers instead. The day ends happily with a successful blessing by the priest and with a new clutch of chicks. Both the engaging text and the lively illustrations contain details that help set the story in a small, rural village in Mexico.
