North America: Guatemala


Central America is part of the continent of North America. We read about Esperanza and her Abuela (grandmother).  They live in the countryside of Guatemala and they weave beautiful tapestries and clothing.  

The quetzal is a bird which is a symbol of Guatemala. It is even on the country's flag. This bird is often woven in the patterns of their weaving. 

This story reminds us that we should appreciate the skills and traditions that have been passed down to us. Each country has something unique to offer the world. It is diversity that makes the world such a wonderful and interesting place. This story also reminds us that we should never judge people by their appearance.
