The warm illustrations and melting paletas take us straight to a summer day in a barrio where the tinkle of the carrio de paletas brings joy to all. A treat for all the senses and an opening for children to write their own versions of what they would do with a paleta.
The bilingual text can be used in many settings. It is full of action verbs and descriptors that appeal to taste, sound, touch, smell and visuals. Highly recommended!

What Can You do with a Rebozo by Carmen Tafolla is one of Harriet's current favorite books. She picked it for its colorful cover with a little girl holding up a red rebozo over her head. The girl on the cover reminds my daughter of one of her best friends.

A rebozo is a sturdy and colorful Mexican shall that women use for a number of purposes from covering their heads to slinging their children. The book has a number of other uses from super hero capes, to blankets, to slides and all sorts of ideas.

What Can You do with a Rebozo is on our frequent check out list. Harriet has taken to using her purple "night-night" blanket as a makeshift rebozo.

You can do a whole lot more with a rebozo than you can imagine! This beautifully illustrated book takes us inside Mexican culture through the many ways this traditional shawl is used.
