La Llorona is being rewritten here to represent the power of indigenous women instead of as a terrifying threat.

Prietita and the Ghost Woman was really lovely to read. I enjoyed how Anzaldua paid homage to traditional healers and to the story of La Llorona. I thought the message of things not always being what they seem and help coming from the least expected places was especially lovely. The illustrations are gorgeous.
Definitely recommended for anyone in general need of a good picture book or in specific need of a good dual language Spanish/English book.

I preferred Friends from the Other Side / Amigos del otro lado to this childrenâs book, but I think this would be a good introduction to magical realism and curanderas.
