I remember very little from my art classes, but I really liked the style of this book because I think the watercolours work really well for a book like this and I actually learned how to draw in a similar style to this when I was younger. My favourite piece was definitely the river (or "watery serpent") because it is just some of the most beautiful artwork that I have seen in a very long time. A detail that I really liked though was the grandmother flipping tortillas (arepas?) with her hand, it was a very nice touch.

Solid book overall, I just think the art was more appealing than the writing itself.
