Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings an ancient Mesoamerican creation myth to life in the picture book Feathered Serpent and the Five Suns.
With his instantly recognizable, acclaimed art style and grand storytelling, Tonatiuh recounts a thrilling creation tale of epic proportions.
Long ago, the gods of Mesoamerica set out to create humans. They tried again and again across different suns--successive ages of the world--each time failing to create lasting humans. When all their attempts failed and the gods grew tired, only one did not give up: Quetzalcóatl--the Feathered Serpent.
To continue, he first had to retrieve the sacred bones of creation guarded by Mictlantecuhtli, lord of the underworld. Gathering his staff, shield, cloak, and shell ornament for good luck, Feathered Serpent embarked on the dangerous quest to create humankind.
Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life the story of Feathered Serpent, one of the most important deities in ancient Mesoamerica.
An engaging introduction to Mesoamerican mythology, this story supports classroom discussions of creation myths, cultural history, and perseverance.Also in
