Where do souls go when their time on earth is done? In Abuelo’s Tales: The Four Roads, Lupita and Mateo discover the answer—not in fear, but in wonder. Through the eyes of their beloved Abuelo, they explore the four sacred afterlife paths of Mexica tradition: Mictlan, the quiet journey home, where souls rest in the embrace of wise guardians. Tlalocan, the rain-soaked paradise for those taken by water. Ōmeyōcān, the golden house of the sun, where warriors and mothers dance as heroes. Chichihuacuauhco, the tree where little souls bloom until the earth is ready to welcome them back. These aren’t just stories—they’re bridges to the past, woven with love, courage, and the wisdom of ancestors. Perfect for ages 7–10, this book includes a glossary, pronunciation guide, and discussion questions to spark curiosity about heritage and history. Because every soul has a home. And every home has a story.
