Doña Flor, a giant lady with a big heart, sets off to protect her neighbors from what they think is a dangerous animal, but soon discovers the tiny secret behind the huge noise.
Colón has created a new tall tale heroine, Doña Flor, whose presence fills the pages of this book. She gazes above the mountains, her eye looks through a doorway, and she dwarfs the mighty puma. The spectacular illustrations perfectly match the story and accurately reflect the culture and landscape of the American Southwest,” said Scotto
