A young Aztec girl tells her little brother how their parents create beautiful painted manuscripts, or codices.

Inspired by the pre-Columbian codices, this story tells how the Aztec and their neighbors in the Valley of Mexico painted books and records long before Columbus arrived, and continued doing so among their Nahua-speaking descendants for generations after.
