Cut-out shapes
and lines fill each image of this book with vibrant art of the Mexican culture.
Whether the images focus on the wild eagle that represents Mexico, or flour
tortillas, each one comes to life as they are explained in both English and
Spanish. The book links each image to the next in a unifying theme of culture
and family.

Text will be read aloud to class. Students will then review
how the author uses art to represent her culture. Students will work to create
papel picado with an image and pattern they feel represents them. First
students will need to draw their selected pattern on typing paper. Next,
students will transfer their image onto the tissue paper, tracing the images
carefully. The teacher will model this process for students. Students will add
any additional patterns and then proceed to cut out images. The final products
should be displayed in the classroom.
