About the Book
Maria and the Stars of Nazca, by Anita Jepson-Gilbert, is a bilingual children’s picture book depicting the Nazca Lines of Peru and their discoverer Maria Reiche, who spent most of her life studying and working to preserve them. The story, written in English and Spanish, simultaneously, is told in short, poetic lines. Its style blends reality and fantasy in order to appeal to young readers and to illustrate the relation of the Lines and Figures to the stars, a theory proposed by Maria Reiche, herself, after years of careful calculation. Illustrations are full two-page spreads to give the impression of the enormity of the Nazca line drawings. Each figure is an artistic model based on actual aerial photographs.
