Several traditional stories of Mesoamerica have been woven together into a lush tapestry, resulting in a folktale both new and timeless about the beginning of the universe and keepers of the earth and sky. A greedy Opossum and dutiful Rabbit come together as the Guardians of Light providing future humans with warmth and light both day and night.
A note from the creators caps off the book, serving as a deep dive into all of the cultural elements used to weave this treasure together.
Gorgeous, crisp illustrations and a calm, poetic tone make this read perfect for your school aged children and their bedtime routines.
Available through our local @midyorklibrarysystem and hopefully through yours, too!
