Description

“Featuring vibrant wooden sculptures by a Oaxacan family of artists…The highly saturated color backdrops and stunning sculptures win over readers of all ages.”— Publishers Weekly “An outstanding alphabet book.”— Críticas “[A] colorful and inventive way for teaching a young child their ABCs. Highly recommended; even adults will enjoy lingering over the unique animal artistry.”— Midwest Book Review Brothers Moisés and Armando Jiménez carved the wonderful animal figures that illustrate each letter in ABeCedarios. Working with their wives and children, they meticulously hand-paint each enchanting animal. The Jiménez families live and work in the beautiful mountain village of Arrazola, Oaxaca.
