Have a celebration with confetti!

This is a beautiful children's book. I used this book with one of the children I was tutoring for a graduate course and it worked well. It's a book of poems each with different themes and is a great way to add a little multicultural literature into a home or classroom. I really enjoy using this book.

Confetti-Little Mexican Pieces

A beautifully and brightly illustrated book. The artist's choice of swirls, patterns, and colors for each poem echoes the author's rhythm and verse, as well as, subject of the poem. As in her other books, Pat Mora uses life experiences and relationships that reflect Hispanic culture in her poems. Dancing Paper with it's pinata and cascarones, Abuelita's Lap with grandma in her rocking chair and Mexican Magician with it's empanadas, anise and marranitos. Mora also adds poems about nature in this book that reflect her native El Paso. A very warm book for anyone who wants to remember growing up with Mexican traditions.
