My Pig Amarillo

32 pp. | Philomel | May, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23768-2 $$15.99
(3) K-3 When his beloved pet pig goes missing, Pablito is bereft until his grandfather encourages him to make a kite so that he can send Amarillo a message on All Saints' Day. Set in Guatemala, this graceful story of coping with loss is driven by Pablito's seemingly unfiltered narration. Ichikawa's watercolors artfully capture both the rural village setting and Pablito's emotions.
