A land of books : dreams of young Mexihcah word painters / Duncan Tonatiuh.

Tonatiuh, Duncan, (author.).

Summary:

Long before Europeans arrived in the Americas, mighty civilizations prospered. Storytelling thrived among the Mexihcah (also known as the Aztec) and their Mesoamerican neighbors, who painted intricately crafted books. In this story, a young girl explains to her brother how their parents make amoxtin--books that gather Mexihcah knowledge, culture, and history. One day, she explains, they too will join their parents, painting words to share with their people and pass down to future generations. -- From inside cover.
