Suitable for ages 4 to 8 years, this text is available in English & Spanish. This is a delightful story from the Miskitu region on the Northeast coast of Nicaragua. It is bilingual, introducing children and adults to both Spanish and English translations on every page. The beautiful illustrations were painted by the well-known Nicaraguan artist, Augusto Silva. His use of vibrant colours and geometric lines is outstanding. Readers will delight in seeing the animals and plants of Central America. This folktale has never before been written in English. Like most folktales, it had been passed down verbally through the generations. Dr MacCracken's adaptation has been enthusiastically received by the Miskitu people. The environmental message of limited hunting practices is timely. She is confident that those who see the book will want to own one.

beautiful book,

This review is from: Trisba and Sula: A Miskitu Folktale from Nicaragua (Hardcover)
Really, really lovely book. Through tenderly told legend, it emphasizes relationship with the environment and its limited resources.
The illustrations are fabulous and vibrant, and there is also a great map of Nicaragua that shows its topography and pinpoints its place on the earth. Words flow well in both Spanish and English, and teachers of language, culture, environment, or Latin American studies could make fine use of this book. I have gifted several copies myself, including to our elementary school library.

What a great book. My wife is from Nicaragua and we are always on the look out for children's book from the country. This is a great story and very relevant in a world where environmental destruction is becoming a bigger and bigger issue.
