Papel picado (cut-paper art) is a craft that has been used by various cultures for many years. The technique required to create papel picado was influenced by Mexican traditions and used for decorations at birthday parties and weddings. These designs can be made by both adults and children.
Garza's unique style is present in the way she explains step-by-step the process of creating papel picado. The brief introduction of how she came up with the design allows the reader to have some background knowledge about the design. This book could be used to expose children to some elements of the Hispanic culture.
