Seeing the penacho on the lovely Mexica lets folks know part of the focus at Tia Chucha's. Sections in the book store include Spanish, Bilingual, Chicano, picture books...and so on.
There is a part of the store that is very clearly art/crafting space and jaranas hang on the wall.
There are other aspects that have to do with identity and change.

Loved this writing on the wall.
It looks like a fantastic store. There should be more of them. I hope they're successful enough to becoming a chain.

ReplyDeleteThat is a very clever graphic. Should show up more often.
