Through the magic windows of her cut-paper art, Carmen shows us her family, her life as an artist, and the legends of her Aztec past. We look into Carmen's studio and see her paint a Mexican jarabe tapatío dancer; we glimpse the hummingbirds that cross the Mexican-American border to taste the sweet nectar of the cactus flowers; and we watch Carmen teach her nieces and nephews how to make their own magic windows. Magic Windows is a continuing tribute to family and community as well as a way for Carmen to connect future generations to their ancestors by teaching and sharing with them this traditional folk art. A step-by-step companion book, Making Magic Windows, is also available.

Vienna RoseListen to Vienna Rose read Magic Windows to you.  A marvelous example of the magical encounter between a child and books that we wish for all children.
