*A Críticas' Best Children's Book of the Year
These folk stories teach the deep-hearted wisdom of the Cuban people. Like a warm sea breeze, these tales will sweep your imagination away to the tropical island of Cuba. There you'll meet a stingy old lady who owns the only fire in the world. She's just skin and bones, but she can dance for three days and nights without stopping. And -- as if one wild dance weren't enough --at another fiesta you'll hear the animals playing such good tunes that you'll be dying to get in --because you can't enter if your head's still attached to your shoulders! Like the green island of Cuba, these thirteen tales are full of warmth, laughter, magic, and wisdom.
Joe Hayes is one of America's premier storytellers. His bilingual Spanish-English tellings have earned him a distinctive place among America's storytellers. Joe has published over twenty books. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and travels extensively throughout Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
