Customer Reviews

Terrific story and photographs of the Kuna molas!

After having spent over two years in Panama, I have seen the Kuna Indians and many styles of their molas. Maricel Presilla captures their beauty in the story and the many beautiful photographs. It is listed as a children's book, but I bought it for myself and have ordered copies to give to several of our Kuna (Panamanian spelling) friends. A wonderful book to have in your library about another fascinating culture.
