NAWEL, THE SON OF THE ANIMALS, PU KULLIÑ ÑI YALL
by Sofía Guerrero Zepeda, Juan Francisco Bascuñán Muñoz, Loreto Salinas Retamal
Description
This bilingual Spanish-Mapuzugun story, based on the Mapuche tradition, tells the story of Nawel, a boy who was raised by the animals of the forest in southern Chile, learning their language and also that of the non-living elements of nature, such as wind, thunder and water. The puma gets sick from drinking water contaminated by waste from the city and Nawel is called in to solve the problem, by teaching its inhabitants to take care of the environment, which ultimately means a healthier life for themselves. The book also presents an attractive game with illustrations of different animals and a mini dictionary that teaches the names of the animals in Mapuzugun.
