The bold colors with the sort of magical realism of the flowers that sprout up all around Belpre and her stories are beautiful! I just want to surround myself with Escobar's illustrations. And there were SO MANY NOTES! a Bibliography, archival references, articles and films, and her own published bibliography! What a rich text!
