An introduction to the life, career, and influence of the Mexican painter Diego Rivera.

Long ago, the gods of Mesoamerica set out to create humans. They tried many times during each sun, or age. When all their attempts failed and the gods grew tired, only one did not give up: Quetzalcóatl--the Feathered Serpent--who embarked on the dangerous quest to create humankind. Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life this retelling of the myth of Feathered Serpent, one of the most important deities in ancient Mesoamerica.

In this engaging nonfiction picture book, five young friends--Nick, Yulee, Pedro, Sally and Martin--spend the day traveling around their neighborhood and participating in activities designed to raise money for their local library. Along the way, they learn about the people and places that make up their community and what it means to be a part of one. Author and illustrator Scot Ritchie has created a rich resource for social studies lessons on places, roles and jobs within a community, and what it takes to be a responsible citizen.
