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.
Joy Cowley is the award-winning author of more than 300 books for children, including Big Moon Tortilla and Mrs. Wishy-Washy. She lives in New Zealand.
