One day a pretentious son call Sonny Babe has a homework assignment, which leads him to ask members of his family about creation of the world and it origanisms. His mother gave him the Bibles version, with a sister jokingly saying that she had heard that people come from monkeys, and from his beady eyes and untidy look, the saying just might be true, But later his father promised to write a myth that did not indicate that people come from monkeys, and some information about the Black Race Progression from salvery to freedom by the Thirteenth, Fourthteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, also some information about sexually transmitted diseases and life from birth to grave. The father got permission from his other family members to allow one week of the fathers vacation to spend at the familys farm located in the Mississippi Delta to thoroughly explain the duties of the eight spirits of his creation myth.

Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings an ancient Mesoamerican creation myth to life Long ago, the gods of Mesoamerica set out to create humans. They tried many times during each sun, or age. When all their attempts failed and the gods grew tired, only one did not give up: Quetzalcóatl—the Feathered Serpent. To continue, he first had to retrieve the sacred bones of creation guarded by Mictlantecuhtli, lord of the underworld. Gathering his staff, shield, cloak, and shell ornament for good luck, Feathered Serpent embarked on the dangerous quest to create humankind. Award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life the story of Feathered Serpent, one of the most important deities in ancient Mesoamerica. With his instantly recognizable, acclaimed art style and grand storytelling, Tonatiuh recounts a thrilling creation tale of epic proportions.
