Said to seek out children who disobey their parents, she has become a \"boogeyman,\" terrorizing the imaginations of New Mexican children and inspiring them to behave. But there are other lessons her tragic history can demonstrate for children. In Rudolfo Anaya's version Maya, a young woman in ancient Mexico, loses her children to Father Time's cunning. This tragic and informative story serves as an accessible message of mortality for children. \u003ci\u003eLa Llorona\u003c\/i\u003e, deftly translated by Enrique Lamadrid, is familiar and newly informative, while Amy Córdova's rich illustrations illuminate the story. The legend as retold by Anaya, a man as integral to southwest tradition as La Llorona herself, is storytelling anchored in a very human experience. His book helps parents explain to children the reality of death and the loss of loved ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unm Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826344601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.60w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e New Mexico Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 135 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rudolfo Anaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51581058744501,"sku":"9780826344601","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bee7c946-6617-45d6-8f35-ddb65c826736.jpg?v=1755619458","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/la-llorona-the-crying-woman-9780826344601","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
