Dona Flora


I love that this story is both a tall tale and has a Mexican-American flavor. Set in a small southwest village, Flora was sung to by her mother and grew to be a giant. All the villagers loved her and she loved taking care of them. When the people of her town feel threatened by a strange roar, Dona Flora will try to help.


Peppered with Spanish words and references, this is a great multicultural choice when teaching tale tales.
