In
her eagerly awaited second book for children, Carmen Lomas Garza takes
us once again to her hometown in Kingsville, Texas, near the border with
Mexico. Through her vibrant paintings and personal stories, Carmen brings
to life more loving memories of growing up in a traditional Mexican American
community: eating empanadas, witnessing the blessing on her cousin's wedding
day, and dancing to the conjunto band at the neighborhood restaurant.
If you loved her first book, Family Pictures, you'll love sharing
more of the stories and images that remain so vividly in Carmen's memory,
and that have influenced so much of her art. In My Family is the
author's second book of family pictures, a continuing tribute to the loving
family and community that shaped her childhood—and her life.
