My Land Sings: Stories from the Rio Grande

A young man comes to understand the talk of animals...a ghostly woman haunts a riverbank...a girl dances with a handsome stranger and finds he's not at all who he seems....These short stories and folktales set along the Rio Grande trace the proud and diverse heritage -- Hispanic, Anglo, and Native American -- of the people of the American Southwest. Rudolfo Anaya's first longer book for young people sings with the voices of five centuries in this tribute to the rich lore of the region.Rudolfo A. Anaya is the author of 'My Land Sings: Stories from the Rio Grande' with ISBN 9780606223027 and ISBN 0606223029.
