Description
"Galardonado creador Duncan Tonatiuh da vida a una querida leyenda mexicana ¡Mención de Honor del Premio Pura Belpré 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 más hermosa de la tierra, y muchos pretendientes viajaban de todas partes para cortejarla. Aun siendo la hija del emperador, Itza no quería casarse con un hombre de poder y riqueza. En cambio, se enamoró de Popoca, un valiente guerrero que peleaba en el ejército de su padre, quien no le ofreció riquezas, sino la promesa de quedarse a su lado para siempre. El emperador no quería que su hija se casara con un simple guerrero, aunque reconocía la valentía de Popoca. Por lo que le ofreció un trato: si el guerrero lograba derrotar a su enemigo, Garra de Jaguar, entonces el emperador les permitiría casarse a Itza y a Popoca. Pero Garra de Jaguar tenía un plan para frustrar al guerrero. ¿Estará todo perdido? Hoy existen dos majestuosos volcanes, Popocatépetl e Iztaccíhuatl, que pueden verse desde la Ciudad de México. Ellos han sido admirados y venerados por muchas generaciones, dando origen a varias historias y mitos acerca de su creación. En La princesa y el guerrero, el premiado autor e ilustrador Duncan Tonatiuh nos relata una de las leyendas mas queridas de México. La integración de palabras en náhuatl (definidas con una guía de pronunciación en el glosario) en la narración brinda una gran oportunidad para presentar y explorar otra faceta de la antigua cultura azteca.

Description
"Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings a cherished Mexican legend to life. Izta was the most beautiful princess in the land, and suitors traveled from far and wide to woo her. Even though she was the daughter of the emperor, Izta had no desire to marry a man of wealth and power. Instead, she fell in love with Popoca, a brave warrior who fought in her father's army-and a man who did not offer her riches but a promise to stay by her side forever. The emperor did not want his daughter to marry a mere warrior, but he recognized Popoca's bravery. He offered Popoca a deal: If the warrior could defeat their enemy, Jaguar Claw, then the emperor would permit Popoca and Izta to wed. But Jaguar Claw had a plan to thwart the warrior. Would all be lost? Today two majestic volcanoes-Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl-stand overlooking Mexico City. They have been admired and revered for countless generations and have formed the basis of many origin and creation myths. The integration of Nahuatl words (defined with a pronunciation guide in the glossary) into the narrative provides a rich opportunity to introduce and explore another facet of ancient Aztec culture. Take your child on an adventure back in time to a land of color and beauty"--
