Book Description
Illustrated with wonderfully ingenuous paintings of scenes of Santa Fe in the early part of the twentieth century, this picture book's story of a girl becoming an artist is based on childhood memories. Maria draws the world around her--chile vendors, the feast of San Isidro, preparing for the fiesta, flying kites, and picking herbs--to entertain herself and her mother. When her mother gives her a set of paints, it is the dawning of Maria's creative self as she paints the hills around her beloved town.
