On his way to find a priest for his uncle, Juan Diego runs past the hill, where the Virgin tells him that his uncle will be well again and to fill his cloak with flowers to show the bishop. When Juan Diego presents the flowers to the bishop, there is a beautiful image of the Virgin on the cloak. Eventually her church is built and the miraculous cloak is hung above the altar for millions of visitors to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.6\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eName the author and illustrator of a text and define the role of each in presenting the ideas or information in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.2.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentify the main purpose of a text, including what the author wants to answer, explain, or describe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.3.2\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea.\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781554980741","Height":"10.75","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","MetaKeywords":"religious icon; Latin America; pop up book; mythology; fables and folklore; legends; Virgin Mary; Juan Diego; faith; religion and beliefs; Christianity; perseverance; connecting; predicting; Common Core aligned; CC Literature Key Ideas and Details; CC Literature Craft and Structure; kindergarten; grade 2; grade 3; picture book; gift book; paper art","NumberOfPages":"12","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003e“This sophisticated pop-up book for ages 5 and up presents an iconic image of the Virgin that will appeal to all those who look to her as a religious, political or cultural force.” — \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eChildren's Bookwatch\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Children's Bookwatch","OtherText_Review_1":"\u003cp\u003e“...this innovative, rich pop-up book is a feast for the eyes.
