The Corn Grows Ripe
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
A Newbery Honor Book, "Tigre's Burden" tells the story of a young boy named Tigre who must find the strength and courage to support his family after his father is badly injured in an accident. The family is faced with the challenge of planting and harvesting the corn they need to survive and honor the Mayan gods.
With neighbors preoccupied with their own fields, Tigre's mother and grandmother are unable to handle the workload on their own. The burden falls on twelve-year-old Tigre, who has never before taken on such responsibility. Can he rise to the occasion and fill his father's shoes?
Described as a book of "special artistic distinction," "Tigre's Burden" is praised for its rich portrayal of Mayan folkways and customs, complemented by bold illustrations. Will Tigre be able to navigate this new role and keep his family afloat amidst the challenges they face?
