As Tigre navigates this challenging time, he learns valuable lessons about perseverance, loyalty, and the power of his own abilities. A beautifully illustrated book that celebrates the traditions and customs of Mexico's Mayan people, The Corn Grows Ripe is a compelling and engaging read for anyone interested in cultural heritage and family stories.
