Milagros: A Book of Miracles by Helen Thompson

4.0

This is a lovely book of stories about the ancient devotional practice of leaving tiny silver charms and other tokens at shrines and sacred sites and how this tradition continues. The illustrations are creative and colorful and accompanied by inspirational phrases in both English and Spanish, reflecting the title which means miracle in Spanish, and the cultures of Latin America and the American Southwest where the practice is particularly popular.
