"The author of genius does keep till his last breath the spontaneity, the ready sensitiveness, of a child, the 'innocence of eye' that means so much to the painter, the ability to respond freshly and quickly to new scenes, and to old scenes as though they were new; to see traits and characteristics as though each were new-minted from the hand of God instead of sorting them quickly into dusty categories and pigeon-holing them without wonder or surprise; to feel situations so immediately and keenly that the word 'trite' has hardly any meaning for him; and always to see 'the correspondences between things' of which Aristotle spoke two thousand years ago."
- Dorothea Brande

| |  | | | In Brief
This story tells "of a young native girl, Esperanza, and her grandmother (or abuela), who live in rural Santa Cruz, Guatemala. The two work hard creating handwoven huipiles (blouses), tablecloths, skirts, and a special tapestry that they hope to sell at the Fiesta de Pueblos in Guate. On the day of the festival, Esperanza travels separately from her grandmother, for Abuela is afraid that the birthmark on her cheek will frighten customers away. All by herself, Esperanza sets up her stall and sells her wares, grateful that the customers appreciate the detailed handmade work more than the cheaper machine-madeitems that are also available. At the day's end, the two return home together. . . . Ages five to eight." (Booklist)
