Pepito

By Katharine Laura

This is a true story. It really happened in a pueblo in southern Mexico. Animals are as emotionally intelligent as humans and have their very own feelings. They can teach and guide us, as much as we can them! This little book will introduce young readers to new words to enrich their vocabulary, and encourage them to learn to read well and observe intently. The written word, when used wisely, is a wondrous thing. Like a pebble thrown into a pond, its ripple extends far afield - so much farther than the cold, technological gadgets that are usurping its place in the hands of children today. As for the Painting Angel... is she true? That, you will have to decide for yourself, but here is a clue... Life is magical, as is Beauty.

Let us treasure the old-fashioned style story!

THE SMALL, SMALL ARRIVAL

Once upon a time there was a tiny, scruffy kitten without a name. He arrived at a big hacienda in a Mayan sabuhcán (which is a string bag used by the Maya peoples of southern Mexico). He travelled there on a rattly, old bus with a nice lady. But he
