Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Zipitio is older than the rocks, even older than the river. He wears a tall black hat and has a round shiny stomach and long pointy nails. He hides down by the river, only appearing when he falls in love. Rufina Perez is a young Nahua girl of the Pipil people in Salvador. Her mother wants her to be prepared for Zipitio, in case he should fall in love with her. When he does appear to court Rufina, her mother shows her how to deal with him in this enchanting tale based on a legendary character from Pipil folklore.

Synopsis:

This character from Pipil tradition falls in love with a El Salvadoran girl.

Synopsis:

Key Notes By the author of the A Movie in My Pillow, the Book of the Americas Award winner in 2001. A wonderful story about a mythical figure from Central American tradition with beautiful, colorful illustrations.
