The Tale of Two Chiles - Paperback

by Rachel G. Lackey (Author)

Red or green? That is the question. A young girl in a New Mexico diner is faced with New Mexico's official state question. Not being from there, she is at first puzzled and then made to decide which chile to choose. Not as trivial as it seems, the red and green chiles come to life trying to convince the girl that they are the superior choice. The story is not only about New Mexico's cultural mascot but also explains the difference between red and green chiles while imparting a lesson of unity and discovery that we are more alike than different.
