Para los admiradores de Duncan Tonatiuh y Dreamers por Yuyi Morales, Códice peregrino es un libro ilustrado inigualable sobre el viaje al norte de una familia inmigrante, ilustrado al estilo de un antiguo códice y basado en la mitologÃa mesoamericana. Nosotros, la familia Vargas RamÃrez, venimos de un lugar lejano al norte de Tenochtitlan llamado Iztapalapa, lugar de la loza sobre el agua. Una tierra rodeada de autos y pasto seco. Un sitio donde estaban repartidos los pedazos de nuestro pequeño mundo. Ahà vivimos algún tiempo, pero un dÃa mi padre escuchó un canto hermoso de un ave que se elevaba y parecÃa decir tihui, tihui, tihui: vamos, vamos, vamos. Y asà reunimos a nuestros amigos que conformaban ese pequeño mundo y decidimos partir hacia el norte, hacia el otro lado, hacia una vida mejor. Juntos, el niño y su familia viajarán desde la tierra de las ranas hasta el lugar donde los pies lloran, pasando por el rÃo donde se enredan las aguas, huyendo de los pistoleros y enfrentando a los coyotes y a las oscuridades profundas como un bosque de obsidiana. Originalmente publicado en México, Códice peregrino (Pilgrim Codex) captura a través de los ojos de un niño la experiencia de una familia en la constantemente cambiante y fugaz historia de los valientes guerreros migrantes que buscan un lugar mejor para vivir.
For fans of Duncan Tonatiuh and Yuyi Morales' Dreamers, a one-of-a-kind picture book about one immigrant family's journey north, illustrated in the vein of an ancient codex and drawing upon Mesoamerican mythology.
We, the Vargas RamÃrez family, come from a faraway place north of Tenochtitlan called Iztapalapa, Land of Clay Upon Water. A land surrounded by cars and dry grass; a place where the pieces of our small world were scattered. For some time we lived there, but then one day my father heard a beautiful birdsong that rose up and appeared to say tihui, tihui, tihui: let's go, let's go, let's go. And so we gathered up our friends who made up that small world and decided to head north, for the other side, and a better life. Together the Boy and his family will journey from the Land of the Frogs to The Place Where Feet Cry to the River Where the Waters Tangle, fleeing Gunmen and braving Coyotes and plunging darknesses as black as an obsidian forest. Originally published in Mexico, Pilgrim Codex (Códice peregrino) captures through the eyes of a child one family's part in the ever-changing and fleeting story of the brave migrant warriors who search for a better place to live.Also from
