Learn moreWhen the other gods grow tired in their attempt to create humankind, only one does not give up: the Feathered Serpent. He embarks on a dangerous journey full of fearsome foes and harsh elements, facing each trial with wisdom, bravery, and resourcefulness before confronting his final challenge at Mictlan, the underworld. In the spirit of Duncan Tonatiuh’s celebrated book The Princess and the Warrior, this pre-Columbian creation myth tells the story of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, one of the most important deities in ancient Mesoamerica.
Duncan Tonatiuh is an award-winning Mexican-American author and illustrator. His books include the Pura Belpre Honor Award winners Dear Primo, Diego Rivera, and Pancho Rabbit and the Sibert Honor Award winners Separate Is Never Equal and Funny Bones. Born in Mexico, he graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York City. He is inspired by Pre-Columbian art, and his aim is to create images and stories that honor the past in a way that is relevant today.
Ana Rodriguez started traveling to many different parts of the world to learn about the idiosyncrasy of people and to embark on a deep spiritual quest in India at the age of twenty-two. When not narrating books, she teaches a Spanish Immersion class. Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, she currently resides in Asheville, North Carolina.
Gary Tiedemann is an acclaimed bilingual audiobook narrator who has recorded over two hundred titles. An Audie and Earphones award-winner, he has also voiced thousands of other professional projects, including commercials, e-learning videos, audio dramas, animation projects, and video games. The co-founder of The New Colony Theatre, he learned how to act in Chicago's improv, sketch-comedy, and theater scene.
