Even though she was the daughter of the emperor, Izta had no desire to marry a man of wealth and power. Instead, she fell in love with Popoca, a brave warrior who fought in her father's army--and a man who did not offer her riches but a promise to stay by her side forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The emperor did not want his daughter to marry a mere warrior, but he recognized Popoca's bravery. He offered Popoca a deal: If the warrior could defeat their enemy, Jaguar Claw, then the emperor would permit Popoca and Izta to wed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But Jaguar Claw had a plan to thwart the warrior. Would all be lost? Today two majestic volcanoes--Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl--stand overlooking Mexico City. They have been admired and revered for countless generations and have formed the basis of many origin and creation myths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The integration of Nahuatl words (defined with a pronunciation guide in the glossary) into the narrative provides a rich opportunity to introduce and explore another facet of ancient Aztec culture. Take your child on an adventure back in time to a land of color and beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDuncan Tonatiuh\u003c\/b\u003e's books have won numerous awards: \u003ci\u003eDiego Rivera\u003c\/i\u003e won the Pura Belpré Illustration Award; \u003ci\u003ePancho Rabbit\u003c\/i\u003e won two Pura Belpré Honor awards, for illustration and narrative; \u003ci\u003eSeparate Is Never Equal\u003c\/i\u003e won the prestigious Sibert Honor Award; and \u003ci\u003eFunny Bones\u003c\/i\u003e won the Sibert Award.
