Lurucha Children's Book

Enter a world of adventure through an exploration of emotions with your little one. Children love the magical story of Lurucha, a parrot that is injured and then rescued by a child in the Andean highlands. This universal tale is illustrated through a powerful children's book with rich details depicting life in the Andes, from mote to Incan doorways to common Andean toys. The illustrations tell the story, so children who speak Quechua, Spanish, English or any other language can enjoy and relate to the emotions of the child in the book as he injures the bird, regrets his actions, befriends the bird and eventually must let it go.
