Tortillas: storytelling traditions

By Elisabeth Contreras-Moran

Tortillas pays homage to storytelling and ancestral pride through the sharing and making of a traditional family recipe.

Using a rich repetitive narrative and vibrant illustrations, Tortillas explains the process of making Mexican flour tortillas, a mother and son together, while honoring the roots of the recipe through the oral history of storytelling and of familial roots extending across both geographical distance and generations. Tortillas showcases all that is important in one family's Latino heritage: telling stories of ancestry, remembering family values, sharing food as a sign of respect and love, an affinity for the natural environment, and the importance of making traditional meals, which bring family and friends to the table. Tortillas is a lovely, heart warming book to share cultural appreciation and to remind readers of the importance of knowledge passed from past to present.
