Marta Enos is having a bad day. It begins when the wind blows her
homework out the window and the dogs chew it to pieces. Her grandmother
consoles her with a tortilla as big and pale as a rising full moon,
along with ancient words of advice. This charming story, set on a Papago
reservation in southern Arizona near the Mexican border, offers Native
American wisdom that helps children--and adults as well--put their
problems in perspective.
