Pam Muoz Ryan, author
Pam Muoz Ryan grew up in Bakersfield, California, in the San Joaquin Valley. Her home was a smorgasbord of cultural diversity including grandparents from Aguascalientes, Mexico, who migrated to the United States. Pam wrote about her grandmothers journey in her best-selling book, Esperanza Rising (Scholastic). And on her fathers side of the family, her Portuguese-speaking Basque grandfather traveled to California from Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl. When spending time at one grandparents home, Pam and her sisters spoke Spanish and ate tortillas, beans, enchiladas, red mol, and lamb. When with the other, they enjoyed black-eyed peas, fried okra, biscuits and gravy, and smothered greens.

Publishers Weekly
In a high-tech approach to a low-tech subject, computer-generated crayons strike different poses on each page of this surprisingly animated counting book. The crayons appear in rows, pyramids and pairs do-si-do-ing in a line; they stand on their heads and lie in piles. The rhyming text counts by twos, first by even numbers (“A set of twins joins the color scheme,/ which brings the count to precisely sixteen”), then by odds (“Seventeen pastels, delicate and light/ Nineteen hotshots, bold and bright”). While the reader is ostensibly counting crayons from a box of 24, she must suspend disbelief: obviously there would not be 11 greens (with names like “iguana,” “wasabi” and “emerald tree boa”), much less 15 blues, within a particular assortment. It’s a slight book, but a colorful one.
