Can Tigre find the strength and courage to strengthen his circle of relatives?
 
When Tigre’s father is badly injured in an twist of fate, the circle of relatives is thrown into turmoil. Who will plant and harvest the corn that they wish to continue to exist—and to thrill the Mayan gods? The neighbors have fields of their very own to generally tend, and Tigre’s mother and grandmother can not do it on their very own. Twelve-year-old Tigre has never done a man’s work before. Can he shoulder the burden on his own, and take his father’s place?  
 
“A book of special artistic distinction, with its well-told story wealthy in Mayan folkway and custom and its boldly appropriate drawings.”—The Horn Book
