"This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jǐmnez became "the soul of Mexico"--a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. She became a model for artists and worked with scholars to preserve Nahuatl language and stories. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people." -- inside front jacket flap.
