By Elena Poniatowska (135 paginas)
This was Poniatowska's first book. It was labeled a children's book because it had a young girl as protagonist, it included illustrations, and the author was an unknown woman. Lilus Kikus has not received the critical attention or a translation into English it deserved, until now. Poniatowska is admired today as a feminist, but in 1954, when Lilus Kikus appeared, feminism didn't have broad appeal. 21st century readers will be fascinated by the way Poniatowska uses her child protagonist to point out the flaws in adult society.Leader/Host: Laura

We are hitting the road!!!!
Nuestro primer road-trip se esta acercando!
We can barely wait to hang out at the cottage and have good old fashion outdoors & adventurous fun. Ladies, get ready to disconnect from work, worries, and errands.
Does anybody know good road games? El mas clasico es el de las 20 preguntas … mmm let’s see … “does it have something to do with a border town just like Juarez?”
Trivia: What other title from our past picks involved road & wheels?
