Have any of you seen this book? I was researching for something else and came across this title. It's similar to the story of O'Henry's Gift of the Magi.

It looks very sweet . . .

Yes, we have read it. It is a good book - I always recommend it for Mexico/Central America living books. Very good for leassons of generosity and self-sacrifice and also the historical background of this area of Mexico.

Love it. One of those "character choosing good in face of difficulties" books that kids need for good formation, I think. It makes them think.

It is hard for my girls to hear----they "wince" every time because they beg me not to cut their hair (one daughter is having a particularly challenging time keeping snarl-free and is getting threats!).
