Tomas' journey continues in Garden of Stories. Order Form | Home | Other bilingual books |
ritten from the viewpoint of an adolescent named Tomás,
this magical fantasy is rooted in Tomás's relationship with his wise
and somewhat eccentric great aunt, tía Zulema. Her magical eyeglasses
and her deck of playing cards 
serve as the dramatic and symbolic
springboards for the action in the book.
