ANIMALES INTERIORES is a collection of Spanish-English Maya fables, illuminated in the New Maya Language visual system.

"Beneath the Cacao Tree, Bat, Firefly, Turkey, Monkey, Dog, Jaguar, Toad, Serpent and Fish make themselves heard.

Animales Interiores reveal themselves to us here through the words and images of Vanessa Núñez Handal and Frida Larios, living anew on the pages of not a book, but a codex.

Illuminated from within by the authors’ deep love and understanding of Maya culture these nine magical incantations, bridging eternal nature and our ancient humanity, speak with us gently."
