#WinterWonderland Day 28: The cover of this book reminded me of #BloweNorthernWinde. This is the story of a gigantic beautiful woman named Doña Flor who lives in a small barrio in the American southwest. The villagers do not fear her presence, in fact they look forward to her giant steps, the songs that she sings allowing birds to come and build nests in her hair. She reads encyclopedias in under 5 mins too! My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7Au
