Publishers Weekly Best of the Year BookPage Best of the Year Al comienzo de todo, los viejos nos cuentan, el cosmos estaba callado y quieto. Solo la luna brillaba redonda en la vasta y estrellada oscuridad del cielo. David Ãlvarez es uno de los artistas mÃ¡s extraordinarios de la actualidad. Sus ilustraciones en blanco y negro le han ganado fama en su paÃs de origen, MÃ©xico, y en todo el mundo. Ahora, con Noche antigua, David muestra por primera vez su inmenso talento con ilustraciones a todo color. Noche antigua es un giro en dos tradiciones indÃgenas: el conejo que la Serpiente Emplumada QuetzalcÃ³atl colocÃ³ en la luna, y Yaushu, el SeÃ±or Tlacuache que gobernÃ³ la tierra antes de que dominaran los humanos, y que robÃ³ el fuego de los dioses para dar calor a sus sÃºbditos. El galardonado autor David Bowles ha escrito un texto poÃ©tico --y un apÃ©ndice cuidosamente investigado-- para acompaÃ±ar las ilustraciones e historia opulentas de Ãlvarez. El libro se publicarÃ¡ simultÃ¡neamente en inglÃ©s y espaÃ±ol, brindando a los jÃ³venes lectores de todo el mundo la oportunidad de saborear este antiguo cuento en el formato mÃ¡s bello posible. At the start of things, the elders say, the universe was hushed and still. The moon alone shone bright and round in the star-speckled dark of the sky. David Ãlvarez is one of the most extraordinary artists working today. His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world. Here, in Noche antigua (Ancient Night) David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time. Noche antigua (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. Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text - and carefully researched backmatter - to accompany David's lush illustrations and story. The book will be published simultaneously in English and Spanish editions, giving young readers everywhere the chance to savor this ancient tale in its most beautiful format possible.
