Se dice que el poderoso dios Quetzalcóatl, la serpiente emplumada, ayudó a crear la Tierra. Fue un héroe que tuvo la valentía de recuperar los huesos de la humanidad que había robado el malvado Señor del inframundo.

No se sabe mucho sobre su hermano gemelo, Xólotl, quien, con su cabeza de perro, es el dios del relámpago, de la muerte y de la mala desgracia.

Un verdadero monstruo.

PERO ESTO ES LO QUE REALMENTE OCURRIÓ.

De Donna Barba Higuera, galardonada con la medalla Newbery, y la ilustradora Mariana Ruiz Johnson, nos llega una singular reinterpretación del mito azteca sobre el origen del hombre―y de su mejor amigo―que es, en pocas palabras, una moderna obra maestra.

***

It is said the mighty feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl, helped create the earth. He is the hero who stole back the bones of humanity from the evil god of the Underworld. In his quest to bring humans to the earth, Quetzalcoatl's dog-headed twin brother, Xolotl, was present. Not much is known of Xolotl, the god of lightning, death, and misfortune. A monster.

This is what really happened.

From Newbery Medalist Donna Barba Higuera and illustrator Mariana Ruiz Johnson comes a singular reimagining of the Aztec myth of the origin of man―and man's best friend―that is nothing short of a modern masterpiece.
