[Jon Nakapalau]

Powerful look at the impact of clashing cultures - this story reminds us that there is often a price to pay when two worldviews clash and there is no attempt find common ground. I often wonder how much knowledge we have lost because of our attitudes about less technologically 'advanced' cultures; just the medicinal knowledge that has been lost is staggering. Really beautiful art.

A legend from the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua. Book is also written in Spanish below the English. Use when studying Legends.

[Mary Marsell]

Beautiful illustrations, engaging and truthful plot full of wisdom about the harmful effects of human greed, and even perhaps an unchecked capitalistic system.

I think it is a good book because You can read it in two different languages, ​ and when you don't understand something you can see in the other language what it was.
