Un ícono de la diversa fauna voladora del sur de México, el quetzal hace una aparición destacada en este marcador hecho a mano por la familia Méndez.

Compuesto para durar tanto como las tradiciones que representa, este marcador proviene de una sola pieza de madera de copal nativa, repuesta por la plantación de árboles de copal de la familia Méndez.

“Piece of art!”

I have several of these bookmarks on hand to give as gifts along with books for the young people in my life. Beautiful little pieces of art, they are sturdy, and also bright enough not to be misplaced. A couple also reside in my art room, peeking brightly out of a glass jar. Highly recommend!

Cheerful, unique gift for young bookworms!
