Description:
Artist Carmen Lomas Garza lovingly shares memories of her childhood growing up in her hometown of Kingsville, Texas and her great dream of becoming an artist. Through warm personal stories and vibrant paintings, young readers experience the day-to-day life in a traditional Mexican-American community from the perspective of a little girl: celebrating birthdays, making tamales, going to a fair in Mexico, and telling her sister her dreams of becoming an artist. Together, the stories and paintings reflect Carmen's love for her family and community and show how her mother's hard work and inspiration helped Carmen reach her dreams.
