New Titles for 2009

Several exciting titles in our line of bilingual releases will make their debut in early 2009. La Reina Mora/The Gypsy Queen is the first in a series of Mexican folktales. These cultural treasures of oral traditions were collected along the Texas-Mexico border. The tales reveal the pathos of the region's inhabitants and the ageless mythology of good versus evil. In early 2009 we will also bring to your reading table a delectable selection of children's poetry and short fables with enduring morals. The first of such fables is The Foolish Farmer and the Shaggy Gray Dog.

Three years after Katrina, residents of New Orleans are confronting a different storm: The avalanche of paperwork from government bodies responsible for aiding recovery efforts.
