This is a beautiful book. I borrowed it from my local library to use as part of a unit on Aztecs I was making (I'm an education major), and after I read it I immediately wanted my own copy! I especially appreciated the background information the author gave at the end of the book, explaining a bit about the history of the story and how the illustrations were done.

We love this story! The four musicians are four different colors & are held captive by the sun, until the wind is sent to save them and bring them back to earth for the people to sing and dance and enjoy color and light. Even the sun is reconciled by the change in the earth & the people. We also appreciated learning the history of the story at the end of the book. A must-have!

I pulled this book off the shelf at the library when browsing with my four year old. The book is oversized with beautiful artwork on the cover. My son ended up loving it more than I did. He was enthralled with the story and the pictures. He wanted it read over and over again until he could tell the story himself. This book is a treasure and a must-have for our own bookshelves.
