Noche antigua / [ilustrado por] David Álvarez ; con [texto de] David Bowles.
"Noche antigua combina varios relatos de la tradición oral, como el del conejo y el tlacuache, así como una rivalidad inventada entre ambos que sirve para contar lo que sucede en la noche, tras la milpa: las andanzas de un afanoso conejo y un audaz tlacuache que van y vienen por el campo provocando que la luna cambie de apariencia y que la noche se transforme en día. Este álbum silente está inspirado en el complejo y monumental pensamiento mesoamericano que concibe el origen de las cosas de manera dual"--Publisher's website.
"Ancient Night is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun"--From the publisher's web site.
