Nobel Peace Prize winner and Mayan activist Rigoberta Menchú brings the world of her earliest childhood vividly to life in this colorful book. Before the war in Guatemala and despite the hardships that the Mayan people endured, life in the Mayan villages of the highlands had a beauty and integrity. This was forever changed by the conflict and brutal genocide that was to come. Menchú's stories of her grandparents and parents, of the natural world that surrounded her, and her retelling of the stories that she was told present a rich, humorous, and engaging portrait of that lost world. Domi draws on the Mayan landscape and rich craftwork to create the stunning illustrations that complement this engaging story.

Girl from Chimel
Rigoberta Menchu is a K'iche speaker, Native American from Guatemala. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1990s for telling her story of the extermination of the Indians by the Guatemalan government. This book is for older elementary children and tells in several stories, her grandmother's life and hers in the mountains of Guatemala where the K'iche live. Her stories are of how her grandparents helped settle the village they lived in and stories of her life there as a little girl. It's very interesting, not difficult to read and is likely to be engaging for many of my students who are Native Americans from Guatemala. Some are K'iche like Rogoberta others are Mam. This is highly engaging reading for them.
