Thank you for your review! Jeanne Walker Harvey 📚

3rd STARRED review The Horn Book: “Medina’s rhythmic text is punctuated with onomatopoeia & emphasizes Ramírez’s connection to the Rarámuri traditions…glimpses of Ramírez’s daily life…strengthened by her family and her community and how she “draws energy from the earth” itself.”




Thank you The Horn Book for choosing DAUGHTER OF THE LIGHT-FOOTED PEOPLE as the #HBReviewoftheWeek! LasMusasBooks
