Summary

This 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. She grew up in Mexico during the early 1900s, became a model for artists, and worked with scholars to preserve the 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
