More about the book
The narrative centers on an ancient Guatemalan Tzutujil Mayan tale about the Tall Girl, who weaves the world, and her celestial parents, the Sun and the Moon. As her suitors are rejected, a mysterious hummingbird-man attempts to win her over. Martin Prechtel enriches this story with 28 evocative illustrations and a multi-layered analysis that draws out timeless wisdom, making the tale relevant to contemporary readers. His deep understanding of Mayan culture and language adds authenticity to this poetic retelling.
