Castillo, Ana

Mi hija, mi hijo, el águila, la paloma: Un canto Azteca

48 pp. | Dutton | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-525-45867-0 $$12.99
(4) 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. The awkward language in this Spanish edition robs the chant of its poetry. Also available in English.
