Translated by Enrique R. Lamadrid.
Illustrated by
Amy Córdova.
To plead for rain to save her people, young Jade follows a hummingbird to see the mountain spirit. Impressed by her courage, the mountain spirit gives Jade the gift of corn, and Jade prepares and names the first tortilla. Anaya incorporates elements from Mexican legends into his original story. Córdova's swirling folk-art illustrations are richly layered. Glos.
