The Day It Snowed Tortillas
Book Review:
This is a fun book for students to read. There are many short stories
included in this book. The title story is very creative. It discusses
how a clever woman outsmarts some robbers. This book also contains a
very popular Southwestern folktale, "La Llorona". This is a story about
a woman who haunts the riverside. Many of these stories are versions
of stories that I was told as a child by my family and relatives. It
brings back many childhood memories of my family sitting down and my
younger brother, our cousins and me telling traditional Mexican stories.
I found the majority of the stories in this book to be somewhat of a
representation of the Southwestern folktales which have been passed
down through the generations.
