Editor Nick Thomas introduces 3 new Latinx books for Spring 21

Описание: THE SEA-RINGED WORLD: SACRED STORIES OF THE AMERICAS
--------------------------------
A collection of stories from nations and cultures across our two continents—the Sea-Ringed World, as the Aztecs called it—from the Andes all the way up to Alaska. Fifteen thousand years before Europeans stepped foot in the Americas, people had already spread from tip to tip and coast to coast. Like all humans, these Native Americans sought to understand their place in the universe, the nature of their relationship with the divine, and the origin of the world into which their ancestors had emerged. The answers lay in their sacred stories. Includes stories from cultures across the Americas including Guarani, Mexica, Taino, Mopan, K'iche', Nahua, Andean and others.

★ “Visually striking...full of vivid language.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

★ “A rich anthology to understand and delight in Native traditions.”—Booklist (starred review)

★ “Begs to be read aloud.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

★ “Impressive, handsome, and universally appealing.” —Horn Book (starred review)
