Family Pictures is the story of Carmen Lomas Garza's girlhood: celebrating birthdays, making tamales, finding a hammerhead shark on the beach, picking cactus, going to a fair in Mexico, and confiding to her sister her dreams of becoming an artist. These day-to-day experiences are told through fourteen vignettes of art and a descriptive narrative, each focusing on a different aspect of traditional Mexican American culture.
The English-Spanish text and vivid illustrations reflect the author's strong sense of family and community. For Mexican Americans, Carmen Lomas Garza offers a book that reflects their lives and traditions. For others, this work offers insights into a beautifully rich community.

Here is a multigenerational story of a Mexican-American family whose myriad voices create a dazzling weave of passion, poignancy and the stuff of life. Lala Reyes' grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl, makers- the striped (the carameloOO) being the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way into Lala's possession. Caramelo is a classic novel that bridges Mexican, Mexican-American and American cultures. It is a vital, wise romantic tale of homelands... sometimes real, sometimes imagined, always irrisistable.
