La fiesta de las tortillas /
The Fiesta of the Tortillas

"Using his childhood nickname, Koki, the author recounts the story of how the Spirit of Corn made its presence known to some of his aunts who used to cook for the family-run restaurant.  The female-centered story and ethnic-tinged illustrations bring to life the essence of hearth and home. Alvarez has subtly added pieces of photographs in each drawing to enhance details (e.g., the tortillas on a tray, or an aunt’s dress). A glossary explains terms unique to El Salvador and broader Spanish words. Strongly recommended for all schools and public libraries."—Gisela Norat, Agnes Scott Coll., Decatur, GA
