Juanita's parents own a small shop, or puesto, which they have named after her, and one very much like those that line Olvera Street to this day. They sell brightly coloured baskets, dresses, and fine lacework - all handmade. For her fourth birthday, Juanita is dressed in a beautiful rose-colored gown and is given a white dove. On the day before Easter, Juanita takes her dove to the Old Mission Church for the annual Blessing of the Animals, along with Senora Carmela, who brings her burro, and Carlos, the leader of the procession, who brings his cow decked out in gardenias! Through his charming illustrations and text, Leo Politi captures the age-old traditions of birthdays and Easter in Los Angeles' Latino community. Music and lyrics for a Mexican birthday song and a lullaby are also included, making this a delightful introduction for young children to one of the many cultures that makes up Los Angeles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50002954879249,"sku":"CIN0892369914G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53350411010321,"sku":"CIN0892369914A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892369914.jpg?v=1751140092"},{"product_id":"emmet-book-politi-9780892369928","title":"Emmet","description":"This delightful picture book from beloved children's book author Leo Politi, originally published in 1971, tells the story of Emmet, one of the many stray dogs taken in by old Mr. Winkel - among them, Poupee, Oscar, and Puff. Emmet was always the troublemaker of the lot, escaping from Mr. Winkel's yard to chase the neighbourhood cats and snatch toys from small children. He even refused to obey the grocer's sign that clearly said, 'No dogs allowed'! Tired of putting up with Emmet's energetic pranks, Mr. Winkel's neighbours are ready to call the dogcatcher when the rascally dog saves the grocer's shop from a fire set by a prowler. As in all Leo Politi's books, Emmet's adventures are richly illustrated and humorously told - and as Emmet frolics across the pages, every reader, young or old, can recall their own pesky neighbourhood dogs - and even the ones in their own backyard.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50628379672849,"sku":"GOR014016685","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50680660918545,"sku":"CIN0892369922G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892369922.jpg?v=1751202266"},{"product_id":"song-of-the-swallows-book-politi-9780892369898","title":"Song of the Swallows","description":"\"Song of the Swallows\", which won the Caldecott Medal when it was first published in 1948, was written and illustrated by Leo Politi.
