Editor's note:
"For our children, You Wouldn’t Want to Be an Aztec Sacrifice! is a potentially damaging piece of overwrought nonsense from outsiders who have not done the work of living alongside us and considering the vital cultural heritage of the “Aztecs” that is kept alive in our communities."---Beverly Slapin, Co-founder and editor, DE COLORES: THE RAZA EXPERIENCE IN BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
