Ixchel sueña con tejer en el telar de cintura como su madre, su abuela y las mujeres mayas antes que ella, pero no hay hilo de sobra: los tejidos de su mamá deben venderse para pagar la escuela. Ixchel prueba con briznas de hierba y con restos de lana, sin buenos resultados. Entonces se fija en las bolsas de plástico de colores que ensucian su aldea guatemalteca. Las recoge, las lava, las corta en tiras y teje una tela tan brillante como un arcoíris. Inspirado en un movimiento real de reciclaje en Guatemala, este libro bilingüe celebra la tradición, el ingenio y el cuidado del planeta.

English Translation

Rainbow Weaver

Ixchel longs to weave on a backstrap loom like her mother, grandmother, and Mayan women before her, but there is no thread to spare—her mother's weavings must be sold to pay for school. Ixchel tries grass and scraps of wool with disappointing results. Then she notices the colorful plastic bags littering her Guatemalan village. She collects them, washes them, cuts them into strips, and weaves a fabric as bright as a rainbow. Inspired by a real recycling movement in Guatemala, this bilingual English/Spanish picture book celebrates tradition, ingenuity, and caring for the earth.
