En este álbum silente inspirado en la tradición oral náhua, un conejo afanoso y un audaz tlacuache protagonizan una aventura nocturna entre la milpa, cuya inventada rivalidad explica cómo la luna cambia de apariencia y la noche se transforma en día. Basado en el complejo y monumental pensamiento mesoamericano que concibe el origen de las cosas de manera dual, este libro sin palabras invita a los lectores jóvenes a descubrir, a través de sus imágenes, un relato ancestral sobre el equilibrio entre la noche y el día.

English Translation

Ancient Night

In this wordless picture book inspired by ancient Nahua oral tradition, Rabbit and Opossum embark on a nighttime adventure across the milpa fields, their playful rivalry setting the moon
ight dark night sky into day. Rooted in the rich duality of Mesoamerican cosmology, this striking silent album invites young readers to explore themes of creation, balance, and the natural world through breathtaking illustrations alone, offering a fresh, visually stunning way to experience an age-old myth about how night becomes day.
