About this product
Product Information
Storytelling World Honor Award, Storytelling World Folktales with an affirmative action twist: In each a woman uses her wits to overcome adversity. A bilingual collection of humorous trickster tales, in which women pit their formidable intelligence to outwit villains, husbands, brothers, fathers, and sweethearts. From the kind woman who tricked two men who thought they had robbed her of a ham to the woman who saved her gold by tricking her foolish husband into thinking it had snowed tortillas, these tales cultivate lessons of honesty, goodness, hospitality, and honor--not to mention intelligence and wit to survive. As Joe Hayes points out, "People the world over tell stories of a humble individual tricking an overbearing person of higher status, but the idea is especially cherished in Hispanic storylore. Making the trickster a woman adds spice to the trick."

Reviews
"At once a fun language lesson and a feminist story collection, this serves as a good introduction to folklore that celebrates the poor in the face of hardship."-- Kirkus Reviews, "At once a fun language lesson and a feminist story collection, this serves as a good introduction to folklore that celebrates the poor in the face of hardship." -- Kirkus Reviews "American Southwest storyteller Hayes retells ten folktales, five new and five from the 1994 original edition, with straightforward, often funny text in both English and Spanish." -- The Horn Book "[A] humorous collection of trickster tales." -- Children's Literature "These stories are clear, lovely earthy--as still and as comforting as a smooth stone in the palm of an outstretched hand. As I read through these tales, I was reminded of the fact that a good story teller can always teach us something new about ourselves. If there is joy in simple things, then this book is filled with much joy." -- Benjamin Alire Sáenz Storytelling World Honor Award, Storytelling World Southwest Book Award, Border Regional Library Association Texas Bluebonnet Masterlist, Texas Library Association (TLA) Accelerated Reader, [The book] brings together 10 stories of wit, daring and just deserts by Joe Hayes. Each starts with a realistic pencil drawing by Vicki Trego Hill and a paragraph in both English and Spanish, then breaks for easier reading into English text on the left pages and Spanish on the right.--Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal, "American Southwest storyteller Hayes retells ten folktales, five new and five from the 1994 original edition, with straightforward, often funny text in both English and Spanish. In these tales, women's cunning saves the day from people with unsavory intentions (would-be thieves) or unfortunate habits (husbands who can't keep a secret)."--Shoshana Flax, The Horn Book, [The book] brings together 10 stories of wit, daring and just deserts by Joe Hayes. Each starts with a realistic pencil drawing by Vicki Trego Hill and a paragraph in both English and Spanish, then breaks for easier reading into English text on the left pages and Spanish on the right.--Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal "At once a fun language lesson and a feminist story collection, this serves as a good introduction to folklore that celebrates the poor in the face of hardship."-- Kirkus Reviews "American Southwest storyteller Hayes retells ten folktales, five new and five from the 1994 original edition, with straightforward, often funny text in both English and Spanish.

Each starts with a realistic pencil drawing by Vicki Trego Hill and a paragraph in both English and Spanish, then breaks for easier reading into English text on the left pages and Spanish on the right. . . . A tale titled 'The Day It Snowed Tortillas / El día que nevaron tortillas' captures the book's wry spirit." -- Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal "At once a fun language lesson and a feminist story collection, this serves as a good introduction to folklore that celebrates the poor in the face of hardship." -- Kirkus Reviews "American Southwest storyteller Hayes retells ten folktales, five new and five from the 1994 original edition, with straightforward, often funny text in both English and Spanish. In these tales, women's cunning saves the day from people with unsavory intentions (would-be thieves) or unfortunate habits (husbands who can't keep a secret). Soft, realistic black-and-white illustrations by Hill, some new and some reused from the previous edition, open the stories. Back matter includes notes about the origins of every tale, acknowledging influences from Latinx cultures as well as others around the world." -- Horn Book Magazine "The introduction to these, bilingual, Spanish/English folktales states that there is an old saying that a woman thinks more in one minute than most men think in an entire month. This pretty much sums up the philosophy expressed in this humorous collection of trickster tales. The tricksters turn out to be clever wives, mothers, daughters and sweethearts, who manage to outwit the villains to save their rather naive or even dumb males. Most of the stories are from the Hispanic tradition of the Southwest, although one tale deals with a Navajo shepherd and his wise mother. One tale, "The Day it Snowed Tortillas" has already been published in an all-English volume with the same title, by Joe Hayes. The illustrations are realistic black and white drawings."(Previous edition) -- Children's Literature "A bilingual collection of Southwestern folktales with some tricky women teaching people simple lessons. Humor shines through the fabric of these fables, with bad guys finding that the joke is, invariably, on them." (Previous edition) -- Bookpaper "Our favorite storyteller, Joe Hayes, goes in for a bit of affirmative action in this collection of his Hispanic folktales. Every one of them features a woman heroine, every one of them is presented in Spanish and English, and every one of them is great fun in the best Joe Hayes style."(Previous edition) -- New Mexico Magazine "Here in the Southwest, Joe Hayes is a folk here himself--everybody's favorite teller of tales from our own favorite part of the world.These lively New Mexico cuentos are written in Joe's voice. You are drawn into a circle around him as you read. I loved the amazingly clever (as well as amazingly tricky) women who manage to save the day in each story." (Previous edition) -- Byrd Baylor "These stories are clear, lovely earthy--as still and as comforting as a smooth stone in the palm of an outstretched hand. As I read through these tales, I was reminded of the fact that a good story teller can always teach us something new about ourselves. If there is joy in simple things, then this book is filled with much joy."(Previous edition) -- Benjamin Alire Sáenz "Children will delight in the tricks these clever women concoct."(Previous edition) -- Houston Post Winner of the Southwest Book Award [original edition] Texas Bluebonnet Master Award List, 1997 [original edition] Storytelling World Award [2019 edition] Accelerated Reader
