Description
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. Walking Eagle's tales awoke deep emotions, conveyed a sense ofsolidarity, and created bonds between hands and hearts of different tribes that lasted forever.
Reviews
"Ana Eulate's message reveals that, if we liberate our perception, we will be able to glimpse the deep balances of Mother Nature and the native cultures that inhabited her. (...) Cuento de Luz is indeed a publisher that brings hope." --Diario de Mallorca
"Harmony, peace, and a hymn to nature are the guiding threads that are interwoven in this enchanting story. If Ana Eulate's text highlights all the philosophy behind her publishing company known for finding beauty and magic where others only see pain or disability-, Nvola Uy's artwork merges with it, enhancing sensitivity and joy to the story. Dynamic and colorful, illustrations seem to flow with the wind that accompanies the little Comanche and his horse through the Rockies." --rase una vez Magazine
