Publisher's Note Miata Ramirez is heartsick. She brought her folklorico skirt to school and left it on the bus. Miata can't let her parents know she's lost something again, and she needs the skirt for her dance group performance. This 1994-95 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee captures the spirit, pride, and traditions of a contemporary Mexican-American family.
Miata has left the beautiful folklrico skirt her mother wore in Mexico on the bus. She was going to wear the skirt on Sunday when her dance group performed folklrico. Can Miata and her friend Ana rescue the precious skirt in time? A warm-hearted story about a contemporary Mexican-American family.
