Discouraged, Perico follows the family's barge and watches as its topmost decoration hits a bridge and falls into the San Antonio River. At that moment, he perches atop the barge and saves the day as only he can. The vibrant and festive colors used throughout invite readers into the celebration, and the images are true to the people they portray.
The bilingual text is fluid in both Spanish and English, and the subject is sure to spark interest in the holiday. With this story, Ada reminds children that good intentions are the best help that anyone can offer. My take: Vibrant, expressive illustrations and bilingual text introduce young children to colors in both Spanish and English while encouraging children to see the beauty in the world around them.

The storyline of the book is about this little Latin girl who describes colors that she sees in her world.
I love how the book supports two different languages Spanish and English. The words in Spanis The storyline of the book is about this little Latin girl who describes colors that she sees in her world. I did like how the book is bilingual and includes different cultures. The book is joining two cultures together to make them feel one. I think younger children would be able to relate to similar colors in their world by saying they also see the same colors as they walk outside their community.
I would emphasize the colors in both Spanish and English language for them to be able to hear them and repeat the words.
The text is written in English with the Spanish translation on the opposite page. The text is rich and descriptive of all the colorful things that envelop the girl in her own backyard. Within the text the color words are written in the color of the object. The illustrations are just as rich as the text. I especially like when the sand covers everything making it bland and brown, and the girl slowly opens her eyes to reveal all the colors.
It is a great book to read with young students and lead to conversations about the power of imagination. View 1 comment. Jan 23, L- Lisa rated it it was amazing Shelves: picture-books , multicultural-literature.

This is a beautiful, whimsical story of a girl who sees her desert world in bright colors. The illustrations make the story come alive with vibrant, fantastical imagination.
The little girl in the book gets to float among the heavens, dance with the birds, swing high into the air, and all in time to greet daddy when he gets home from work.
Jul 20, Melissa Pope87 marked it as to-read. I got the idea to read this book from Dalene Thomas. The summary she gave is what caught my interest. I feel that it is important to have different types of cultural books in the classroom. This book sounds interesting and I will read it.
Jan 11, Julie Esanu rated it really liked it Shelves: family , picture-book , self-identity , pura-belpre , bilingual , mexico. The predominant color throughout the book is pink, which is depicted in varying shades from light pink similar to cotton candy to a rich magenta. Her readers are introduced to the lovely round faced, brown skinned girl that Gonzalez could not find in books as a child.
In this book, Maya is reminiscent of a young Frida Kahlo self-portrait. Both artists are influence by Mexican folk art and ancient artifacts.
Gonzalez also incorporates magical realism throughout the book as Maya is transported by the beautiful colors that surround her and floats through her colorful world. Finally, the bilingual text is easy to read and the color words are depicted in the color they represent. In addition, a short color glossary is included at the back of the book. My students love this book! This book describes the way in which the little girl applies color to her life. Her favorite color is pink.
I love how the absence of bright colors takes place when she refers to living in the desert. I love how she describes the sun setting as being "pink.
I love the picture a This book describes the way in which the little girl applies color to her life. I love the picture at the end when her father comes home and she hugs him. I love how she describes his black hair.
This book is shorter and does not take a lot of time and is quite simple in nature. I think the idea of "character's perspective" could be taught using this book.
I also think for younger students, colors can be taught. This book is also bilingual. Brilliant, beautiful colors are all around us but sometimes they can be hard to see. Take a trip to the Mojave Desert as we visit Maya to search extra hard for the colors in her neighborhood.

I loved this bilingual picture book! The vibrant colors are gorgeous. When Maya introduces each new color, the word in the text is in the color Maya is describing. She introduces the reader to life in a southwestern desert with enthusiasm through these colors. The pictures - especially of Maya - are reminiscent of the work of Frida Kahlo.
