But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers--artists interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jiménez became 'the soul of Mexico'--a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people"--Adapted from jacket flap. 520 $a A fictionalized account of a Nahua woman who grew up in Mexico during the early 1900s, became a model for artists, worked with scholars to preserve Nahuatl language and stories, and was known as the "soul of Mexico." 586 $a Pura Belpré Award, Children's Author Honor, 2022 500 $a "This edition is only avaliable for distribution through the school market."--Page 4 of cover. 600 10 $a JimeÌnez, DonÌa Luz, $d 1897-1965 $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Nahuas $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Indians of Mexico $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile fiction. 600 10 $a JimeÌnez, DonÌa Luz, $d 1897-1965 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Nahuas $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Indians of Mexico $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 600 11 $a JimeÌnez, DonÌa Luz, $d 1897-1965 $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Nahuas $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Indians of Mexico $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Mexico $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Tonatiuh, Duncan, $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240618010731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18ADC0A02D3811EFBED2305122ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
