  "At the start of things, the elders say, 
  the universe was hushed and still. 
  The moon alone shone bright and round 
  in the star-speckled dark of the sky. 
   
  David Álvarez is one of the most extraordinary artists working today. His black-and-white illustrations have gained fame in his home country of Mexico and around the world. 
   
  Here, in Noche antigua (Ancient Night) David displays his immense talent with full-color illustrations for the first time. 
   
  Noche antigua (Ancient Night) is a twist on two Nahuatl traditions: the rabbit which the Feathered Serpent placed on the moon, and Yaushu, the Lord Opossum who ruled the earth before humans came, and who stole fire from the gods to create the sun. 
   
  Award-winning author David Bowles has written a poetic text – and carefully researched backmatter – to accompany David’s lush story. The book will be published simultaneously in English and Spanish editions, giving young readers everywhere the chance to savor this ancient tale in its most beautiful format possible.David Bowles"

On the brink of her Quinceañera, and her official coronation, Solimar visits the oyamel forest to sit among the monarch butterflies. There, the sun pierces through a sword-shaped crevice in a boulder, which shines on her and sends the butterflies humming and swirling around her. After the magical frenzy, she realizes she's been given a gift—and a burden: she can predict the near future! She has also become a protector of the young and weak butterflies. This alone would be a huge responsibility, but tragedy strikes when a neighboring king invades while her father and brother and many others are away. The remaining villagers are taken hostage—all except Solimar. Can this princess-to-be save her family, the kingdom, and the future of the monarch butterflies from a greedy and dangerous king?

  In Tomorrow's Mind: How AI is Shaping the Future of Human Thought, I am going to bring all readers to an intellectual exploration to the frontiers where artificial intelligence (AI) converges with human cognition, creativity, and decision-making. This timely discussion opens a window into the profound transformations that AI is bringing to the very fabric of human thought processes and the way we perceive our capabilities. 
  Tomorrow's Mind ventures into the topics of emotional intelligence, contemplating the gap that AI has yet to bridge in understanding the rich combination or collection of human emotions. This book casts its gaze on the horizon of possibilities where human and artificial intelligence might one day merge. It invites readers to ponder the implications of such convergence, considering the philosophical, ethical, and existential questions that arise when the lines between human and machine intellect blur. Tomorrow's Mind is not just a book about AI; it's a journey into the future of our own minds, a future that is being written now, with every algorithm and every line of code. As AI continues to shape our world, this book is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact it will have on the way we think, create, and decide.
