Nacho and Lolita
Once, when the two Californias ran alta y baja, high and low along the
sea of the Pacific, there lived a rare and majestic bird named Nacho,
the only pitacoche for thousands of miles and hundreds of years. He was proud of his brilliant feathers and his haunting songs, but what good were his treasures with no other bird to share them? Then the swallows came to nest, and Nacho met Lolita. Could two such different birds find lasting happiness together? And what will happen to Nacho and Lolita when the swallows migrate back to South America? This tender story, delicately illustrated in rich detail by Claudia Rueda, and written by Pam Muñoz Ryan, reveals that any difference can be overcome with love.
