«Dona Flor» is the children's picture book by Pat Mora, published by Dragonfly Books in paperback (32 pages, in English).
Doña Flor is a giant who lives in a small town in the American Southwest and uses her size to help her neighbours: she lets the children play with her flowers and her tortillas. When a terrifying noise frightens the village, she decides to face the creature with the help of her animal friends, but the mystery hides a funny outcome. The tale, sprinkled with Spanish words and phrases, is a humorous story about the bravery and big heart of its protagonist.
Work created by Pat Mora and illustrated by Raúl Colón, the authors of «Tomás y la señora de la biblioteca». Winner of the Pura Belpré Award for illustration in 2006.
Recommended for early readers aged 3 to 7 and for families looking for children's stories with bilingual vocabulary and Hispanic tradition.
