My sister wants a ‘Mexican’ birthday. She can have it. I painted the eagle from the Mexican flag for her. But don’t forget the legend behind it. The eagle with the snake was the beginning of Mexico city, the city who is actually made by the great Aztec people.

I don’t like the cover but it is the cover of a children’s book. It is a good book for children because it teaches so much and they don’t use stereotypes. They also have attention for tribes who are not that known as the Lakota and the Aztecs.
It shows the cultures in Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala and South America.
