A Note From the Author:

"Growing up, I rarely saw children’s books that reflected my heritage. Abuelo’s Tales is my way of changing that—of sharing the magic of Mexica myths with kids everywhere, so they can see themselves in stories of courage, light, and firelight. Thank you for being part of this journey!" — Rudy
