The Pumpkin Moon Empanadas
The daughter of Mexican immigrants, Clementina Llanes draws upon her heritage to create what Saveur Magazine calls “simultaneously touching and inspiring” stories of family and good cooking at her blog-cocina, "A Little Cup of Mexican Hot Chocolate." (www.tazadechocolate.blogspot.com). Tía (Aunt) to over 30 nephews and nieces, Clementina and her husband live on the Central Coast of California, not far from the vineyards where the story of "The Pumpkin Moon Empanadas" takes place. Sarah D. Thomas’s delightful artwork captures the joy of childhood.  Since she was a little girl, she has had a passion for drawing.  Now as an adult, she conveys that same passion through her captivating illustrations.  She lives with her family and two cats on the Central Coast of California.
