Synopsis

The heart of Southern Texas--the Rio Grande Valley--is brought to life through rhyming text and vivid illustrations in this charming Texas-themed ABC book. Steeped in tradition at the crossroads between the United States and Mexico, the Valley's residents have established a unique way of life, honoring their past and reaching for their future.

Author Rickey Pittman uses the alphabet to celebrate the sights and sounds of this unique life in the Magic Valley, capturing a full list of experiences from the flight of the aplomado falcon to the delight of a daughter's quinceañera, the spirit of mariachi music, and the ride of Antonio Zapata.

Illustrator Julie Dupre Buckner splashes the pages with the hues of Valley life, from the bright butterflies gracing the grasslands to the clear night sky shining with stars in this informative and educational book for all ages.
