A young Aztec girl explains to her little brother how their parents create painted manuscripts—codices—by making paper from local plants and folding it into long books that record their people's knowledge, rituals, and way of life. With lyrical prose and his signature illustration style inspired by pre-Columbian codices, award-winning author-illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh challenges colonial myths, showing that the Aztec and their neighbors were creating books and documenting history long before European contact. A Land of Books is a powerful tribute to Mesoamerican ingenuity and the enduring importance of storytelling, offering readers of all ages a moving celebration of heritage, resilience, and Latino culture.
