"Award-winning author Duncan Tonatiuh reimagines one of Mexico's cherished legends. Princess Izta had many wealthy suitors but dismissed them all. When a mere warrior, Popoca, promised to be true to her and stay always by her side, Izta fell in love. The emperor promised Popoca if he could defeat their enemy Jaguar Claw, then Popoca and Izta could wed. When Popoca was near to defeating Jaguar Claw, his opponent sent a messenger to Izta saying Popoca was dead. Izta fell into a deep sleep and, upon his return, even Popoca could not wake her. As promised Popoca stayed by her side."-- Provided by publisher.

Beautiful book, perfect for mid- or upper-el, or even older submitted by nemiller on July 19, 2021, 9:54am I read this book as a read-aloud for a 3rd/4th grade mixed class. The illustrations alone are reason enough to read and share this book: a collage of many textures done in the style of Aztec codices. The myth is beautifully retold. The glossary at the back was helpful for pronouncing Nahuatl words.
