Paperback. Etat : Good. From the clip, clop of the milkman's mule in the early morning to the clacking of her father's abacus at night, a young girl brings us into her home, which is also her parents' store. Located in Guatemala City, the store is filled with the colorful textures of cloth, threads, buttons, and things from her parents' homeland in China. As people come and go throughout the day, the girl hears several languages--Spanish, Chinese, and Mayan. The Mayans buy thread for weaving in colors such as parrot green and mango yellow. The girl's parents talk about their hometown in China, from which they emigrated, fleeing a war, years ago. The girl and her brothers and sisters make up games to play on the rooftop terrace, on the sidewalk, and in the store. After supper the girl dances to celebrate her day. Lyrical writing and delightful artwork will captivate both children and adults in this story drawn from the author/illustrator's childhood memories. Amelia Lau Carling (illustrateur). …

Hardback. Etat : Good. The Lau family, well-known from Amelia Lau Carling's award winning picture-book Mama and Papa have a Store/La Tienda de Mam y Pap , have been invited to spend Easter with their cousins in Antigua, Guatemala. Although they are Chinese and Buddhist, Mam loves the pageantry of Easter. Antigua, the former colonial capital of Guatemala, is renowned for its Easter processions. Not only are the statues outstanding examples of Spanish colonial art, they are carried by hundreds of penitents, wreathed in incense. One of the most striking and original features of these processions is the creation of spectacular, ephemeral, sawdust carpets which the processions walk over and destroy. The cobble stone street of the city are lined with these carpets which people spend days creating, only to see them disappear. The heroine of the story helps to make a one of these carpets.Guatemalan and Chinese religious observances, the Goddess Kuan Yin and the Virgen de Guadalupe, Dragon Boat Races and Easter processions, pi atas and baptisms and Chinese tamales all weave in and out of this story that celebrates beauty, religious celebration, and tolerance.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Chico Canta, the youngest of 12, is a tiny, mischievous, fearless mouse who lives with his family in an old theater. They love to go upstairs to see the plays and echo the audience shouting, Bravo, bravo as the curtain falls. Mrs. Canta speaks many languages not only English, Spanish, and Italian, but Spider, Cricket, and Moth as well. And she encourages her children to develop their own language skills. Bilingual, bravo she is always telling them. One evening, after a wonderful performance of The Three Little Pigs, the mouse family narrowly escapes Little Gato-Gato. But, undaunted and inspired by the production, they decide to mount their own version of the play. On opening night, however, it is tiny Chico who is the star of the show when he spots Little Gato-Gato in the shadows and uses his own special gift for languages to avert disaster.
