Summary

• "This award winning show which originally aired on PBS in the 1970 and was subsequently broadcast throughout the country in the 1980s and 1990s, was the first Spanish and English children's educational television program broadcast to national audiences in the United States."
• "Aida Barrera describes how the mythical world of Carrascolendas grew out of her real-life experiences as a Mexican American child growing up in the Valley of South Texas listening to the stories and sayings of an imaginative mother and other caring relatives. She recalls how she drew on those early experiences to create television programming that specifically addressed the needs of Hispanic children growing up between two world's and two languages, even as it remained accessible and entertaining to children of other cultural backgrounds."--Jacket
