The Aztecs' apocalyptic beliefs about the end of time were depicted on the Sun Stone calendar found in 1790 in what is now Mexico City. In 20 exquisite black-and-white brush drawings by Ianna Andréadis and a full-color painting of the Sun Stone by Felipe Dávalos, the Aztec calendar comes to life. Each month appears in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl, and the text puts the images into context. This book is a wonderful introduction to the magic of Aztec cosmology, an engaging resource for children studying Meso-American cultures, and a fascinating gift book for anyone interested in the Aztecs and their interpretations of time.

First published in Spanish and Nahuatl as Días Tonaltin.
