CB - Grifalconi, The Bravest FLute: A Story of Courage in the Mayan Tradition

֍The Bravest Flute: A Story of Courage in the Mayan Tradition; Ann Grifalconi (1994), 32 pp.  13 oz  ---   [ages 6+, reading grades 2-4th ] [Living Mayan Culture]A bit contrived, but enjoyable, story of a young Mayan boy who finds the strength to hold up his family's honor by playing a flute and carrying a drum in a village processional.  The author, Ann Grifalconi,, obviously has experienced and values the culture and processions she writes about in the story. Colorful watercolors add to the story.  I have seen similar processions in Chichicastenango. Limited quantities available (hardback no longer in print)
