When Edna San Miguel was in first grade at Manzo Elementary School,
her teacher ordered her to repeat the year.

The Barrio Hollywood child, her teacher wrote, could not focus on her work
and spent too much time doodling and drawing.

San Miguel chuckles now over that episode in her life. At least the teacher didn't
stop her from drawing, which she loved.

"Mission San Xavier: A Story of Saints and Angels, Art and
Artists/Una Historia de Santos y Ángeles, Arte y Artistas,"
will be published next month by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Press.
The 72-page bilingual book will contain 44 original illustrations and
text by San Miguel, a 1976 graduate of Pueblo High School.
