The Folk Tree is pleased to host a special book signing with Tony Johnston on Saturday,
October 4, 2008 at 2 pm. The noted children’s book author will be discussing and signing copies of her new book, P is for Pinata: A Mexico Alphabet. In it, she explores the ancient history and proud tradition of Mexico from A to Z.

The book is a perfect way for parents and kids to experience Mexico and all of its rich culture. With its two-tiered format, younger readers can easily follow along the story’s rhyme, while the informational sidebar text provides a more broad understanding about the United States’ neighbor to the south.

Authentic folk art paintings by artist John Parra impeccably depict the history, natural beauty and iconic images of Mexico, including scenes of The Day of the Dead (El dia de los muertos), Lady of Guadalupe, Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, and El Angel, the giant monument to Mexico’s independence.

The Folk Tree is located at 217 S. Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena.
The store phone number is 626/795-8733.
