Kite Festival

One Sunday morning, Fernando Florez's grandpa spreads out a map & asks him to close his eyes & pick a destination at random. By midmorning, Fernando, his parents, grandparents, & sister are in their station wagon & on the road to San Vicente. When they arrive in the center of the little town, they see many people preparing for a kite festival. While the Florez family has no kite to fly, they waste no time joining in for all the fun. Unfortunately, it¿s Sunday, & the stores are closed. Where to find a kite? By using their ingenuity -- along with found objects -- they successfully manage to put one together. The real surprise is in store at the end of the day, with the mayor of San Vicente on hand to deliver it. Includes directions for making a hexagonal kite. Illustrations.
