Magic windows



Garza, C. L. (1999). Magic windows. San Francisco, CA: Children's Book Press.

In Magic window, the author Carmen Lomas Garza, gives us insight to her culture and traditions.  She uses a collection of paper cutouts as the illustrations, and gives a brief description of each.  We learn of her family, foods, and celebrations from Mexico and the ancient Aztecs.  Even more, the book is English and Spanish!
