Loved the art work, and loved the story as it coincided with Ana learning a song in school that goes something like, "Earth is our Mother, we must take care of her... Sun is our Father... Wind is our brother..." and so on... and the story made her ponder on Nature and the World around us and how interdependent we are, like a huge family...

Story of Huichol Indians - very enlightening The five elements family - Grandpa Fire, Father Sun, Mother Earth, Brother Wind, Sister water...LOVELY!! :-) And I loved the part about the spiritual underpinning - as in how the boy is expected to pass on the story to others who were walking with him! Inspiring, isn't it?Praba Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124515962155387444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-43993047803678644342009-10-24T00:57:35.759-07:002009-10-24T00:57:35.759-07:00Love kids' books where the illustrations are a...Love kids' books where the illustrations are a work of art, makes it a real treasure!<br /><br />Had come across this book where the story was set in modern times but the illustrations are in Madhubani style. So for example there is a little girl on a bicycle in the story but depicted in Madhubani drawings. Will dig it out and tell you.<br /><br />Love all your picks!Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-87612996089183045572009-10-24T00:56:47.507-07:002009-10-24T00:56:47.507-07:00Interesting info about the style of painting !
