Our little Aztec cousin of long ago

By Elizabeth Borton

Step into the vibrant world of ancient Mexico alongside Coyotl, a thoughtful Aztec boy whose life changes forever after a single mistake at the temple school. In Our Little Aztec Cousin of Long Ago, readers journey with Coyotl from the shadowed halls of the great pyramid to the bustling markets of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, the winding canals of the capital, and the long merchant roads stretching across the empire.

Through Coyotl's adventures with the wise and seasoned merchant Amotl, young readers witness the splendour of Aztec homes, festivals, trade routes, and sacred rituals. From tending the eternal fires to encountering nobles, warriors, priests, and even danger on the open road, Coyotl's courage and quick thinking shape his path in unexpected ways.
