Award-winning author Duncan Tonatiuh reimagines one of Mexico\'s cherished legends.
So two Volcanoes were formed: Iztacc huatl, who continues to sleep, and Popocat petl, who spews ash and smoke, trying to wake his love..
As promised Popoca stayed by her side.
Izta fell into a deep sleep and, upon his return, even Popoca could not wake her.
When Popoca was near to defeating Jaguar Claw, his opponent sent a messenger to Izta saying Popoca was dead.
The emperor promised Popoca if he could defeat their enemy Jaguar Claw, then Popoca and Izta could wed.
When a mere warrior, Popoca, promised to be true to her and stay always by her side, Izta fell in love.
Princess Izta had many wealthy suitors but dismissed them all.
