«La hermosa Señora: Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe» is the children's picture book by Pat Mora, published by Dragonfly in paperback (40 pages, in Spanish).
Grandma Lupita tells her granddaughter Rosa and her friend Terry about the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe to Juan Diego in 1531, near present-day Mexico City, while they make paper flowers. The story includes the Lady's requests, the bishop's demand for a sign, and the impact of the miracle, and adds facts about its cultural influence.
The Spanish translation is by Adriana Domínguez, with illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher.
Recommended for children aged 5 to 8, especially for early readers and for families who want to share the Guadalupe tradition.
