Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner David Diaz. Juan Quezada is the premier potter in Mexico. Using local materials and the primitive methods of the Casas Grandes people, Juan creates stunning pots in the traditional style - each a work of art unlike any other. Written in the form of The House That Jack Built and accompanied by explanatory material, this celebratory story is also the tale of the once impoverished village of Mata Ortiz - transformed by Juan's pioneering work - and its people. Ages 4-8.
