Combining beautifully drawn illustrations with an introduction to Spanish verbs, this picture book is both linguistically and culturally educational. Pictograms drawn in the style of the Warli tribe-an indigenous Indian people whose elegant and minimalist artwork usually appears on the inside walls of their tribal homes-tell stories about a small Warli community's people, animals, and plants and illustrate the action of each verb so that children understand the meaning.
