Welcome to Litsy!

I promise that I will love you for who you are. I will stay by your side no matter what, as long as tonatiuh rises, as long as the cenzontle bird sings.

Beautiful book to remember not to let anyone change you and love will endure.

Traditional. This is a wonderful book about a princess and her steadfast warrior. The princess always loved spending time with her people and teaching them poetry. She receives many gifts from suitors wanting to change who she was and offer her a life of luxury away from her people. Until one day a great warrior came along and saw her for the amazing person that she was. All in all a beautiful yet sad story about a princess and her warrior.

I really like this why based traditional story. Very cute.

This book was published in 2016 and is a Pura Belpré Honor book. It is the story of the creation of mountains after a love story similar to Romeo and Juliet‘s occurs. It is an interesting take on love and shows the creation of the land. I really really like it. It also includes a glossary that refers to the language of Nahuatl.

#SeptemberDanes Day 23: Given the preponderance of contemporary realistic stories that are out there, it is rare that ancient legends and folktales are rendered with such a modern and relatable vibe to it. At its very core, The Princess and the #WarriorWorrier is a love story, similar to most legends. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-eh3

Great story and illustrations! Enjoyed reading it very much!

When the princess and the warrior fall in love fate has other plans.
Duncan Tonatiuh's illustrations, reminiscent of Aztec artistry, are perfectly suited to the legend of the two volcanoes near Mexico City, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.
This book includes an author's note about the legend, a glossary of Nahuatl words, pronunciations used in the story, and a bibliography.
Great read for gradeschoolers.
