Kiwi Magazine Review:
It’s always paleta weather! Paleta (popsicles) turn tongues green, help make friends and refresh everyone on a hot day. The text is simple and sweet, but the illustrations make you crave paletas by the dozens with their rich, red and yellow heat.
Summary:
Where the paleta wagon rings its tinkly bell
and carries a treasure of icy paletas
in every color of the sarape…
As she strolls through her barrio, a young girl introduces readers to the frozen, fruit-flavored treat that thrills Mexican and Mexican-American children. Create a masterpiece, make tough choices (strawberry or coconut?), or cool off on a warm summer’s day–there’s so much to do with a paleta.
