Winner at the 2014 International Latino Book Awards. A stunning picture book about the life of a mute Comanche young boy who brought unity and togetherness among all of the Native American tribes through his magical silent tales.
The boy with the feather headdress told stories without saying a word. The boy whose legs formed the shape of a heart communicated with that special language that comes from within. With his hands, his face, his smile and his eyes, he could communicate everything his listeners needed to hear. Águila que Camina’s tales awoke deep emotions, conveyed a sense of solidarity, and created bonds between hands and hearts of different tribes that lasted forever.
A magical tale about nature and harmony between the different peoples of the world, reminding us of the power of stories to bring out our very best from within the deepest part of the human soul.
Ganador de los International Latino Book Awards en 2014. Un cuento sorprendente sobre la vida de un niño comanche mudo que trajo unidad y unión entre todas las tribus nativas americanas a través de sus mágicos cuentos sin palabras.
El niño con tocado de plumas contaba cuentos, cuentos narrados sin palabras. Con sus gestos, su expresión, su sonrisa y su mirada, transmitía todo lo que el que escuchaba necesitaba recibir. Sus relatos despertaban emociones profundas, trasmitían unión y solidaridad, lograban que manos y pieles de colores diferentes se entrelazasen y se uniesen para siempre. El niño con piernas en forma de corazón se comunicaba con ese lenguaje tan especial: el que nace del interior.
Un relato mágico que canta a la naturaleza y a la armonía entre las distintas naciones del mundo, recordándonos a través de su poesía el poder de los cuentos para extraer, de lo más profundo del alma humana, lo mejor que anida en nuestro interior.
