A Mexican American girl explains the many uses of her mother's red long shawl and warm family relationships

I liked how the book demonstrated a young girl playing with her moms Rebozo and how many ways she can use her imagination of what it can be. I enjoyed the illustrations but didn't love, i do think however they matched the theme of the book, by being very colorful and full of imagination. ( )

A fun and richly colored picture book, which lists the various uses of a Rebozo. Most importantly for the Mexican traditional celebrations. For example, as a blind fold for the piñata at the birthday party. This story inspires a lot of imagination while touching on a small piece of Mexican heritage. This could be a really fun read aloud and art project, creating your own Rebozo. This book offers both english and spanish side by side, very inclusive and introduces new languages. At the end of the book there is a brief history of the Rebozo.

Summary: A young girl in a Mexican family poses the question of what can be done with a rebozo, a Mexican shawl. She tells about all the different ways everyone in her family uses the rebozo, from wrapping their hair up, to cleaning with it, to playing dress-up and make believe.
