NYC Launch Event | Xolo by Donna Barba Higuera

Newbery Medalist DONNA BARBA HIGUERA is joining us for the NYC launch of her brilliant new middle grade read, !

It is said the mighty feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl, helped create the earth. He is the hero who stole back the bones of humanity from the evil god of the Underworld. In his quest to bring humans to the earth, Quetzalcoatl's dog-headed twin brother, Xolotl, was present. Not much is known of Xolotl, the god of lightning, death, and misfortune. A monster. But what really happened?

This reimagination of the Aztec myth will fill you and your young readers with sympathy and compassion for this lovable underdog god. Filled with gorgeous illustrations and written in prose that pulls at the heartstrings, it's a story that stays with you long after reading it. Come celebrate its release!

Sunday, October 26th at 2pm at Our 17th St Store!
