"Mora celebrates America’s vast, otherworldly Southwest in 14
poems that will delight readers of all ages with their playfully
evocative imagery … Proving poetry can be fun, Mora and
Jenkins have created a book that will leave readers longing to
‘leap through one blue door’—an opening to the sky, an opening
to poetry."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

terrain and denizens of the American Southwest in these poems … Readers-aloud will welcome the glossary of Spanish terms with
pronunciation that is included."—Bulletin of the Center for
Children’s Books
"This gem is both a lovely book and an evocative look at a
magical place."—School Library Journal
"Some of the poems have an ear-pleasing music that lifts the words from the page and sets them dancing."—Kirkus Reviews
