Long before people walked the earth, the moon shone alone in a quiet sky.
Ancient Night draws young readers into a luminous tale inspired by Nahuatl traditions. Rabbit, Opossum, moonlight, and fire move through a dreamlike world where the night is alive with mystery. The story weaves together traditions of the rabbit on the moon and the fire-stealing opossum, offering a poetic picture book experience that feels both ancient and new.
With spare, lyrical text and richly glowing illustrations, this is a beautiful choice for readers who enjoy myths, bedtime stories, and picture books that invite slow looking. Backmatter adds context for curious children ready to learn more about the Mesoamerican roots behind the tale.
