La Muerte. El Nopal. These are just a few of the 54 iconic symbols that appear in the beloved card game Lotería, also known as Mexican Bingo. Since reaching modern-day Mexico in 1779, the deck has seen many artful incarnations, and across Latinx cultures, it has served the multilayered purpose of practicing the Spanish language, bringing loved ones together, and of course, trying our luck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Lotería Remedios enters the cards into the canon of cartomancy: it uses the traditional symbols for divination, reflection, and self-healing. Here author Xelena González, a member of the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation, is continuing the work of her great-grandmother, a curandera sought-after and highly respected for her abilities. Through beautiful illustrations and lyrical written remedios, La Sirena (The Mermaid) becomes an invitation to view your own magic and beauty. La Bandera (The Flag) suggests the need to wave your flag high, so that you may discover who is ready to join your cause. And the much-loved La Luna (The Moon) encourage you to look within, and understand that night will always find its morning, that the tide always changes.\u003cb\u003eXelena González\u003c\/b\u003e practices the   healing arts through writing and movement. She is a storyteller, dancer, and   visiting author who centers self-love in her multi-disciplinary workshops for   all ages. Her picture books include the multiple award-winning \u003ci\u003eALL AROUND US\u003c\/i\u003e (Cinco Puntos Press,   2017), the recently-released \u003ci\u003eWHERE   WONDER GROWS\u003c\/i\u003e (Lee \u0026amp; Low, 2022), and the forthcoming title \u003ci\u003eREMEMBERING\u003c\/i\u003e (Simon \u0026amp; Schuster,   2023). Xelena’s storytelling skills were honed as a public librarian in her   hometown of Yanaguana\/San Antonio and in Guangzhou, China, where she served   as head librarian for an international school. Through her author visits, she   has introduced a method of “tai chi storytelling” to more than 100 schools,   museums, and libraries around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJose Sotelo Yamasaki\u003c\/b\u003e is a San   Antonio based painter, screenprinter, and illustrator.
