The intermediate level Spanish reader, ¿Quién se robó los colores?, takes readers on a journey through pre-Columbian myths with a completely modern setting : an entire series of worlds that exist on a computer screen. The text is ideal for heritage speakers or learners who studied Spanish previously and wish to review.
The storyline is based on a pre-Columbian myth about the origins of the first man on Earth. In the story, the world’s colors are controlled by the computer of an evil and greedy villain, Taya. Are, a butterfly-girl, travels through different worlds trying to right the wrongs of Taya. Colors, body parts, the senses, and some names of animals and plants are all covered with an emphasis on vocabulary in context, expressions, grammar and exercises.
