Doña Flor is a giant
lady who lives in a tiny village in the American Southwest. Popular with her
neighbors, she lets the children use her flowers as trumpets and her leftover
tortillas as rafts. Flor loves to read, too, and she can often be found reading
aloud to the children. One day, all the villagers hear a terrifying noise:
it sounds like a huge animal bellowing just outside their village. Everyone is
afraid, but not Flor. She wants to protect her beloved neighbors, so with the
help of her animal friends, she sets off for the highest mesa to find the
creature. Soon enough, though, the joke is on Flor and her friends, who come to
rescueher, as she discovers the small secret behind that great big noise.
The creators of Tomás and the Library Lady, Pat Mora and Raul Colón, have
once again joined together. This time they present a heartwarming and humorous
original tall tale—peppered with Spanish words and phrases—about a giant
lady with a great big heart.
