Cuna women hold much of the power enjoyed by men in other societies. They select their husbands, pass property on to their children, and make a unique form of art called molas that depict every detail of their lives.\n\nThe spectacular fabric designs in vibrant tropical colors that appear on the front and back panels of molas give us a window into Cuna life. We may see a day in school, mythical birds, the story of Noah, jungle animals, or a girl's coming-of-age.\n\nAuthor Maricel Presilla learned how to read molas when she stayed with the Cuna. Mola is her tribute to the women she came to know and the amazing art they create.\n\nAn American Bookseller \"Pick of the Lists\"\nOne of Bank Street College of Education's Best Children's Books of the Year\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805038019\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0805038019.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Presilla, Maricel E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
