    About this ebook

    "This charming little book will introduce young readers to safe and effective natural remedies from the native traditions of the American Southwest. A good way to learn about the healing power of plants."—Andrew Weil, MD

    Aaron has asked his grandfather Tata to teach him about the healing remedies he uses. Tata is a neighbor and family elder. People come to him all the time for his soothing solutions and for his compassionate touch and gentle wisdom. Tata knows how to use herbs, teas, and plants to help each one. His wife, Grandmother Nana, is there too, bringing delicious food and humor to help Tata's patients heal. An herbal remedies glossary at the end of the book includes useful information about each plant, plus botanically correct drawings.

    Roni Capin Rivera-Ashford grew up in Nogales on the Arizona-Mexico border. Born into a pioneering Jewish family with roots in Eastern Europe, Roni embraced the languages, cultures, and people on both sides of the border. Now a retired bilingual educator, her first book, My Nana's Remedies / Los Remedios de mi Nana, is a classic, a parent's and teacher's friend for teaching children traditional values.

    Antonio Castro L. is nationally recognized for his illustrations of books by Joe Hayes. Teaming up with his son, book designer Antonio Castro H., he uses his exacting illustrative skills to bring to life this story of family and plants. Born in Zacatecas, Mexico, Antonio has lived in the Juarez–El Paso area for most of his life.

      Tata knows a host of natural remedies and can cure anybody, and his grandson is determined to learn just how his grandpa heals the hurts of family and friends alike. He has that chance the day he’s whacked in the head with the game of balero. Always the remedies are accompanied with a repeated refrain: “Sana, sana, colita de rana, si no sanas hoy, sanaras manana” (“I’ll kiss it and rub it and make it go away. Now that you’re better you can go out and play!”) Throughout the day, people knock on the door with one ailment or another, and Tata shares his folk wisdom. Winner of a Pura Belpre Honor award for illustration, Castro shows, with impeccable detail, the intergenerational web of caring that surrounds the community. Told in both English and Spanish, this title is particularly valuable for bilinqual and ELL settings. Includes a glossary of medicinal herbs and remedies.
