Description

Caren holds her ears as her grandfather lights the fuse of his castillo (castle). A flame sizzles, then explodes into a bouquet of fire. The wheels on the castle spin wildly, sending rockets into the night sky, & the sky is filled with wonderful explosions. It’s a fiesta! Every town in Mexico has a patron saint who is honored annually with a fiesta, & almost every fiesta has fireworks. Caren Reyes Urban lives in Tultepec, a town famous for its fireworks, & her father, her uncle, & her grandfather all work at making them. Join them now in their preparations for Tultepec’s fiesta, & then for the wonderful festival itself. “Captures the smiles & heart of the Mayeros, the people who speak the Mayan language.” Color photos & map.
