What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

A storm and flash flood hit the ranch hard, and many animals are lost. But Josefina and her sisters are determined to save the family business. Their aunt, Tia Dolores, wants to try some bold new ideas. Josefina likes learning to weave and play the piano, but she’s not so sure about learning to read and write. She’s afraid all these changes could make her forget Mama. Unexpectedly, Mama herself gives Josefina the answer. By facing the changes, can Josefina find her courage – and discover the truth about love? The first book in Josefina’s stories is richly illustrated in full color and includes a peek into Josefina’s world in 1824.
