Description
A mischievous boy tricks the 12 thunder gods in order to create the first hurricanes in Magaly Morales's debut author-illustrated picture book, a retelling of a Mexican folktale

Tajín is a fun-loving child full of energy and mischief. When his antics prove too rough for even the monkeys of the forest, he's sent to the pyramid of Los Nichos.

There live the Twelve Thunders, who, with their sweeping capes, thunderous boots, and flashing swords, make the weather. For a time, the boy is on his best behavior while in their service . . . but all too soon, he yearns to join the Thunders in the sky.

Based on a popular Mexican myth, Tajín and the Twelve Thunders is the origin story of how the first hurricanes were created--with the help of one mischievous little boy.
