WONDERFUL, INFORMATIVE, me gusta mucho este libro

This colorful book tells of the making of guitars in Paracho, a tiny village in the state of Michoacán in Mexico. I enjoyed the bright collage photos on every page, which were made from corrugated cardboard, fabric, tissue paper, etc. The message of the very high quality guitars made in Paracho was very touching and informative. The book includes a few Spanish phrases which are always easily understood, and it even includes translations on the back page. Some pages include signs in Spanish and English mixed into the collages. This is a very nice book to read to children for global awareness, plus it is very informative. I really liked this book. (I'm a librarian and I see lots of books.)
