Mysterious, beautiful, strong heroine

A magical tale based on New Mexican folklore. Mirabel falls in love with a green bird (Pajaro Verde) and marries him despite her sisters' and mother's jeering. He is of course a prince in disguise, and when he is injured, she must rescue him. Another twist in the story is that Mirabel's sisters have various numbers of eyes, from nine to one. The illustrations are gorgeous. English and Spanish text. I have included this book (plus many more feminist folk tales) in my online Gender Equality Bookstore.
