|  | The Lady of Guadalupe by Tomie dePaola
A retelling of the legend of how the Mother of God (also known as Our Lady of Guadalupe ) appeared in a vision to Juan Diego, a poor farmer living in Mexico in 1531. The vision tells Juan Diego to go to the Bishop and tell him that she wants a church built in her honor. Juan Diego tries to fulfill the command, but he is unable to meet with the bishop. After two more unsuccessful attempts to convey the message, Our Lady of Guadalupe performs a miracle, which Juan Diego is able to use to convince the Bishop to fulfill Our Lady of Guadalupe's wish. Pencil, ink, and watercolor illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Tomie dePaola
