Review

Less of a picture book than an album of paintings accompanied by explanatory captions, this book is drawn from the artist's memories of growing up in a small Texas town. The paintings are naively styled, straightforward depictions of what life was like in her Hispanic community: celebrating a birthday, picking cactus, making tamales, going to church.
