Description: An excellent
child’s eye perspective of life in a Zapotec Indian village, Teotitlan
del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico. This village is a well-known center of tapetes,
beautiful rugs and tapestries that are hand-woven on a floor loom with
patterns similar to North American Indians.
The photos are clear with a perspective that kids should be able to
relate to and create a wonderful mosaic of the elements of a Zapotec
Indian family’s life. The
writing provides a simple, but dynamic explanation of this mosaic that is,
again, kid directed. This
book is one I highly recommend.
Age:
