Butterfly Books - a Bookstore for Growing Young Minds

Sadly Butterfly Books will be closing at the end of January. My husband is being transfered in his job to Utah. While we look forward to a new adventure I will truly miss the years of bringing wonderful books to our community; watching children become readers and sharing the love of books with all our friends.

Our closing sale begins Monday, January 5th.

"ONE BOOK, ONE COMMUNITY" READ

Set in NM on the border between a small village and the huge llano (plains), Bless Me, Ultima is Rudolfo Anaya's much acclaimed and award-winning coming-of-age novel from the Hispanic perspective. Antonio is torn between his father's cowboy side of the family who ride on the llano and his mother's village and farming relations. Many conflicts are presented here: Hispanic vs. American culture, Catholicism vs. paganism, parents' expectations vs. the child's desires, Spanish blood vs. native blood. Antonio's life is forever altered when his aunt Ultima, a curandera (healer) comes to live with the family; she teaches Antonio many things, most importantly how to gather the self-knowledge that will help carry him into adulthood.
