Description
The Chocolate Tree [A Mayan Folktale] by Linda Lowery and Richard Keep In Mayan mythology, a remarkable gift was bestowed upon the people by their king, Kukulkán. A chocolate tree appeared, bringing with it the promise of a sweet and treasured treat. However, Kukulkán's brother, Night Jaguar, sought to restrict the chocolate to the gods alone. The story of the chocolate tree raises questions about the distribution of power and the nature of privilege. As the Mayans navigate this complex issue, they must decide whether their newfound treasure will be a blessing or a curse. This beautifully illustrated book presents a fascinating tale of ancient mythology, exploring the intricate relationships between gods, kings, and the people.
