Reviews for The Woodcutter's Gift
 
Criticas Connection - December 2007
 
A heartwarming story that could be set in any Latin American small town, and the colorful, full-page illustrations depict daily life in a small community. Great for reading aloud, this title can spark a meaningful discussion about the role of art in the community.
 
Today's Catholic newspaper - December 2007
 
A captivating book on the meaning of sharing and inner beauty.
 
 
Reviews of Lupita's Papalote
 
School Library Journal - October 2002
 
Lupita finds herself aloft and carried away by the enthusiastic kite -- or is she? Young readers will find the hint of doubt (fact or imagination?) intriguing. This positive family story is a great way to start off a new school year or a unit on kites.
 
 
 
Nana's Book Warehouse - El Almacen de Libros de Nana
Fall 2002/Winter 2003 (Review of Lupita's Papalote)
 
Pinata Books has produced another beautiful bilingual Spanish/English book with a wondrous message for children. It is a great book for young readers, equally great to read to the non-reader. The book should be in libraries, classrooms, and homes for families to enjoy.
