Summary
In these thirteen delightful stories [the author] takes young readers into the dense forests of Ecuadorian Amazonia to encounter six surviving native tribes: the Achuar, the Shuar, the Waorani, the Siona-Secoya, the Quichua, and the Cofan. Each story is told from a child's perspective, enabling readers to identify with, and feel empathy for, the fictional characters.
