«The Sad Night» is a history picture book by Sally Schofer Mathews, published by Clarion Books in paperback (40 pages, in English).
It tells the story of the Aztecs: their migration, the founding of Tenochtitlan, and the rise of their empire until the encounter with Hernán Cortés and the Spanish in the 16th century. The narrative culminates in the battle known as the Night of Sorrow, the last one the Aztecs won against the invaders, with illustrations inspired by pre-Hispanic codices.
Full title: The Sad Night: The Story of an Aztec Victory and a Spanish Loss. The work was originally published in 1994; this edition is from 2001.
For children aged 4 to 7, it is a first approach to the history of Mexico through a visual narrative.
