A significant work of children’s literature, this paean to nature and Indigenous culture belongs in every school and public library collection for years to come.
The warmth of Mariana’s close-knit, yet far-flung family practically radiates off the page, and many young readers will relate. An excellent purchase for most collections.
A picture book without text must stand on the merit of its illustrations, and this title’s artwork doesn’t compel attention. An additional purchase for most collections.
This early chapter book will find favor with fans of “Definitely Dominguita” and “JoJo Makoons” and has broad appeal. Readers will look forward to reading more of plucky Marya’s adventures.
