La Llorona / The Weeping Woman: An Hispanic Legend Told in Spanish and English

New ed. (1984)
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Vicki Trego Hill & Mona Pennypacker. Despite the fact that La Llorona involves a mother who, after she is betrayed by her husband, drowns her children, it remains a popular Hispanic tale. Hayes retells the story in a pedestrian fashion in both English and Spanish. This edition features some new illustrations; the art is occasionally marred by distracting crosshatching. An afterword provides background information.
