A Slice of New Mexico Traditions

Learned about this book in a Language Arts Methods class, and had to buy it immediately! I love these kind of stories that mix folklore and tradition and language all together to give a flavor of NM (along with the chile!). Bilingual book, English on one side and Spanish on the other. Good opportunity to make the most of a culture that may or may not be well known in your classroom.
