«The Honey Jar» is a children's book of Mayan stories by Rigoberta Menchú with Dante Liano, published by Groundwood Books in hardback (56 pages, in English).
It collects twelve Mayan stories that Rigoberta Menchú heard from her grandparents: tales of creation, natural phenomena, animals, the underworld, the sky, the sun and the moon, plants, gods and demigods, including the magical twins. Domi's illustrations evoke the Mayan landscape and the visual vocabulary of Mayan textiles and crafts.
Companion volume to «The Girl from Chimel», translated into English by David Unger; includes a glossary of Mayan words.
Recommended for readers aged 10 and up, especially those who enjoy Mayan mythology and traditional tales.
