The book has Spanish translation by award-winning author Nasario Garcia of Santa Fe. The illustrations for the book are by award-winning artist Nicolás Otero of Los Lunas. This is Otero’s first book and already there is praise by many for his art.

The event is free and a holiday drop-in for people to see the original art, meet Nasario Garcia and Nicolas Otero, and depending on health, meet one of New Mexico’s literary treasures - Rudolfo Anaya. Anaya is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts National Medal of Arts, winner of many New Mexico Book Awards, The Governor of New Mexico ‘s Award, NEA fellowships, as well as many other awards. He is regarded as the father of Hispanic literature in America.
