Description

The author combines several folk stories from oral tradition, such as the one about the rabbit and the opossum. There is some invented rivalry between them, which helps to narrate what happens at night, behind the cornfield: the adventures of an industrious rabbit and an audacious opossum, who come and go through the field causing the moon to change its appearance. This silent picture book was inspired by Mesoamerica’s complex and tremendous ideology.
