Award-winning illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical picture book biography of an Indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists.
 
A 2022 Pura Belpré Award Author Honor Book
 
She was Luz Jiménez,
child of the flower-song people,
the powerful Aztec,
            who called themselves Nahua—
                        who lost their land but who did not disappear.
               
As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community’s joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart.
