Review

An Indigenous Peruvian boy grew up in the Andean highlands, visiting the tombs of his ancestors. This boy was Julio C. Tello, and he became the most important Indigenous Peruvian archaeologist of all time. In this beautiful and well-informed book, you will find the story of his perseverance and success. Tello fought against many obstacles to realize his dreams. --Dr. Henry Tantaleán, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru

This is a wonderful, lovingly-illustrated portrait of Julio C. Tello and his remarkable career. It will inspire young people to go out and make discoveries of their own, regardless of their backgrounds. As the founder of modern Peruvian archaeology, Tello is justly famous in Peru. This book will bring awareness of his great accomplishments to readers in North America. --Dr. Richard L. Burger, Professor of Anthropology, Yale University

5.0 out of 5 stars CHANGED THE UNDERSTANDING OF INDIGENOUS CULTURES
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2020
In the Quechua language of Peru, “Sharuko” means brave, and the nickname was bestowed on the young Julio C. Tello. SHARUKO: EL ARQUEÓLOGO PERUANO/PERUVIAN ARCHAEOLOGIST follows Julio from childhood, through the hardships that followed the death of his father, to the incredible discoveries that changed the understanding of Peru’s pre-Columbian history and indigenous American cultures. The bilingual format (Spanish/English) of this fascinating picture book biography expands its use far beyond history and biography to Spanish and English as a Second Language classes. Both author Monica Brown and illustrator Elisa Chavarri are of Peruvian descent, and their love of the culture shines through.
