Produktbeschreibung
Mariposa, a colorful little butterfly, is sad as she flutters across the black and white world beneath her. She feels rejected and alone. She stops to rest on a cattail in Cochiti Lake, and a brave and curious trout swims near. He asks her where she got her colors. The butterfly tells him she must go and ask her wise abuelita. Her grandmother explains that the colors are a special gift and that it is not where they come from but what she does with them that truly matters. This lovely story teaches about kindness and generosity-about loneliness and fitting in-and about becoming courageous in spite of fear. The illustrations are exquisitely rendered by noted muralist Nanibah Chacon. Mariposa, Where Did You Get Your Colors? is a beautiful book for all ages.
Autorenporträt
Virginia Padilla-Vigil was born and raised in northern New Mexico and is a lifelong educator. She earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education, her master's degree in counseling from the College of Santa Fe, and her Ph.D. in Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies at the University of New Mexico. She has a deep passion for teaching. She served as an elementary teacher for 6 years in the Pojoaque Valley Schools and has taught for over 25 years in colleges and universities across New Mexico and Colorado, in counseling, leadership, and teacher education. Her childhood dream was to write and publish a children's book. Mariposa, Where Did You Get Your Colors? is a story that captures the essence of possibility and the role that significant adults can play in children's lives through helping them discover their gifts and talents (their colors) and encouraging them to share them with the world. It is also a story of diversity and the many colors we bring to our world, creating a rich tapestry of strength, unity, and collective wisdom.
