Julio's Magic

Julio and his friend, master carver Iluminado, find their ideas in the forest, where dragons, lizards, and angels hide in the wood of every twisted branch. At home, Julio can''t wait to make sculptures for the annual wood-carving contest. But Iluminado, whose eyesight is failing him, is too humble to enter. When Julio opens his heart to help his friend, he learns that winning is not nearly as important as giving. Both the author and illustrator of Julio''s Magic have traveled extensively in Mexico. Now they have translated the deep admiration they feel for the Mexican artisans they''ve met into a truly magical book which reminds us that inspiration, creativity, and friendship can be found everywhere.
