La princesa y el guerrero

una leyenda de dos volcanes
"Galardonado creador Duncan Tonatiuh da vida a una querida leyenda mexicana Mencion de Honor del Premio Pura Belpre al Ilustrador y un Libro Infantil Notable de ALA/ALSC! "A palette of earthy, evocative colors . . . A genuine triumph." -Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) "Use this Aztec legend to inspire readers while teaching a bit about dramatic irony." -School Library Journal Itza era la princesa mas hermosa de la tierra, y muchos pretendientes viajaban de todas partes para cortejarla. Aun siendo la hija del emperador, Itza no queria casarse con un hombre de poder y riqueza. En cambio, se enamoro de Popoca, un valiente guerrero que peleaba en el ejercito de su padre, quien no le ofrecio riquezas, sino la promesa de quedarse a su lado para siempre. El emperador no queria que su hija se casara con un simple guerrero, aunque reconocia la valentia de Popoca. Por lo que le ofrecio un trato: si el guerrero lograba derrotar a su enemigo, Garra de Jaguar, entonces el emperador les permitiria casarse a Itza y a Popoca. Pero Garra de Jaguar tenia un plan para frustrar al guerrero. Estara todo perdido? Hoy existen dos majestuosos volcanes, Popocatepetl e Iztaccihuatl, que pueden verse desde la Ciudad de Mexico. Ellos han sido admirados y venerados por muchas generaciones, dando origen a varias historias y mitos acerca de su creacion. En La princesa y el guerrero, el premiado autor e ilustrador Duncan Tonatiuh nos relata una de las leyendas mas queridas de Mexico. La integracion de palabras en nahuatl (definidas con una guia de pronunciacion en el glosario) en la narracion brinda una gran oportunidad para presentar y explorar otra faceta de la antigua cultura azteca.
