Rigoberta Menchu returns to the world of childhood in this, her third book. The novelâs seven-year-old heroine, Ixkem, is chosen to tend to the prized cornfields once her grandfather has passed away. But Ixkem isnât sure she can accept this great responsibility. Out in the fields, she discovers a legion of tiny people, no bigger than bananas. They are bâeân, nahuales  secret animal spirits  and when they take Ixkem into the underworld where they live, she regales them with tales of the surface. What they offer in return helps Ixkem to accept both her grandfatherâs wishes for her and the fact that she must soon wish him goodbye. This moving story is rich with emotion and Mayan folklore, perfect to captivate any young reader.
