Sisters in Blue tells the story of two young women-one Spanish, one Puebloan-meeting across space and time. Sor Maria de Jesus de Agreda, New Mexico's famous Lady in Blue, is said to have traveled to New Mexico in the seventeenth century. Here Anna M. Nogar and Enrique R. Lamadrid bring her to life, imagining an encounter between a Pueblo woman and Sor Maria during the nun's mystical spiritual journeys. Tales of Sor Maria, who described traveling across the earth and the heavens, have traditionally presented her as an evangelist who helped bring Catholicism to the Pueblos. Instead this book, which includes an essay providing historical context, shows a connection between Sor Maria and her friend Paf Sheuri. The two women find more similarities than differences in their shared experiences, and what they learn from each other has an impact for centuries to come.
Anna M. Nogar is an associate professor of Spanish at the University of New Mexico. She is the coeditor of A History of Mexican Literature and Colonial Itineraries of Contemporary Mexico: Literary and Cultural Inquiries. Enrique R. Lamadrid is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Spanish at the University of New Mexico. Winner of numerous teaching and writing awards, he is the author of many books for a wide variety of audiences. His most recent book for young readers is Amadito and the Hero Children / Amadito y los Ninos Heroes. Amy Cordova is an artist, author, educator, and two-time ALA Pura Belpre Honors Award winner for children's book illustration. She lives in La Cienega, New Mexico.
Densely saturated illustrations bring the colors of the seventeenth century to life.--Kirkus Reviews
