Descriere

Miata Ramirez is heartsick. She brought her folklorico skirt to school and left it on the bus. Miata can't let her parents know she's lost something again, and she needs the skirt for her dance group performance. This 1994-95 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee captures the spirit, pride, and traditions of a contemporary Mexican-American family.
