Roberto is a simple picture-story book for beginning readers. One day Roberto's father becomes ill and Roberto must take the father's hand-made pottery to market to sell. The little boy has never traveled very far from his home, so his trip to the market makes him feel big and important and responsible. On the way the incidents become really wonderful and exciting experiences to Roberto. The author-artist has hand-lettered his narrative as a complimentary part of each colorful drawing. Mr.Yomen's pictures appear on every page and are done in the bold, striking colors so typical of Mexico.
