Castillo, Ana

My Daughter, My Son, the Eagle, the Dove: An Aztec Chant

48 pp. | Dutton | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-525-45856-5 $$12.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by S. Guevara. Castillo's poems are based on chants that were recited by Aztec elders as coming-of-age teachings. The verses are solemn in their simplicity and are still relevant today. The artwork, which successfully combines images of a contemporary girl and boy with Aztec glyphs and symbols, gives the book the feeling of an illuminated manuscript. Useful notes by author and illustrator are appended. Also available in Spanish.
