Magda’s TortillasLas Tortillas de Magda
By Becky Chavarria Vasquez
What do you get when you put Magda in the kitchen with a bowl of masa? Magda’s one-of-a –kind tortillas! In Magda’s Tortillas, it’s Magda’s 7th birthday, and she gets to help abuelita in the kitchen. Magda’s goal: to make tortillas as round and perfect as the ones made by abuelita. Magda soon finds out that it’s not as easy as she thought, but she ends up making other fun shapes: stars, hearts, bananas, butterflies .. even hexagons!
At first Magda was ashamed of her not-so-perfect tortillas, but was beaming with happiness when her family celebrated her accomplishment. This is a great book to share with children because it teaches them to celebrate their talents and what makes them unique. A great pick for story-time activities!
The full-color illustrations feature a wide-eyed Magda in every scene, including beautiful images of Magda with her abuelita, and of course her now famous tortillas. Grades 2-4
