Description: A easy-to-read story about the science and role of corn,
or more correctly maize,
in the life of South and North American Indians and the Europeans who received
the Indian's life-sustaining gift. Aliki's easy reading style and fun pictures hide a wealth of scientific and
cultural information. The next time you take a bite from a golden ear
of corn - you'll have a whole new appreciation of where it came from.
While not mentioned in the book --- Mayas traditional tales say that the
Gods made the people from corn and thus they call themselves "Men of
Maize".
