Ecuador: Green was my forest, by Edna Iturralde

Instituto Cervantes in Manchester and Leeds organise Tales from Latin America to promote and encourage reading among young people with the best stories by Latin American authors. An ideal opportunity to learn about literature in Spanish and get to know other worlds through literature. 

The second session is dedicated to Ecuador with the stories Green was my forest, by the Ecuadorian children's writer Edna Iturralde. The stories portray the life of western Ecuador, its jungle, its exotic animals and its indigenous peoples. The author studied and understood the way of life of the indigenous people in order to be able to transmit these people and their world to the youngest children.
