We've been enjoying the book
Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote lately. It was displayed in the window of our library and I checked it out based on the random reasons that: 1) I liked the cover illustration and 2) I like reading multicultural stories to my boys. It turns out that it was our lucky day when I decided to check this book out, as it's a great and exciting story and, as the subtitle notes ('a migrant story'), it's rooted in a way of life that is fascinating and important, and that my boys had no idea about. I highly recommend this book, as both a great story and a great launching point for conversation. Probably ages 4 through 9 would enjoy this book.
Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote uses Spanish words throughout and provides a glossary at the end. We enjoyed learning some new Spanish words, along with some new kinds of foods and crafts. In preparing for a fiesta, Pancho and his brothers and sisters make papel picado to decorate.
When it turned out that we were having soft tacos for dinner last night, and we needed an afternoon activity, we tried our hands at making papel picado ("like Pancho!").
It was a really fun craft and the banners look so festive in our kitchen. I think they would make great birthday party decorations in various color combinations.
