No one knows what happened to the bell in the church tower. Did the priest sell the bell to a foreign collector? Did revolutionaries melt it down and turn the metal into cannons? Or was it just magic? Whatever the reason, the town hasn't been the same since it disappeared. To heal the pain of this loss, Angel, the young kite maker, creates a beautiful kite showing the whole town—including the missing church bell. After an exciting chase and a lonely night on a cold mountaintop with his three loyal dogs, Angel succeeds in bringing back the bell to his beloved town.

Vienna Rose read Angels Kite to you. A marvelous example of the magical encounter
between a child and books that we wish for all children.
" . . . an excellent choice for sharing aloud. The bilingual text is a natural for two youngsters to read simultaneously. Collage pictures by Morales, a Mexican artist, round out the tale." —School Library Journal
"Resonant imagery and glowing illustrations give this quiet tale a potent folkloric aura." —Kirkus Reviews
" . . . everything was created to make the whole book a work of art." —American Bookseller
