Un álbum bellamente ilustrado que narra el mito fundacional de la civilización inca. Los hijos del Sol cuenta cómo el Sol envió a Manco Cápac y Mama Ocllo a la Tierra para fundar la ciudad de Cusco y enseñar a su gente a hablar, sembrar, tejer y cocinar. La prosa poética de Micaela Chirif conserva el pulso de la tradición oral, mientras que las ilustraciones de Juan Palomino evocan las primeras manifestaciones artísticas humanas. Una hermosa introducción a la mitología andina para los más jóvenes.

English Translation

Children of the Sun:,

An artfully illustrated version of the founding legend of the Inca civilization, Los hijos del Sol tells how the Sun sent Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo to Earth to establish the city of Cusco. There they gathered the scattered people and taught them the skills of civilization—farming, weaving, cooking, and more. Micaela Chirif's poetic retelling captures the rhythm of oral tradition, brought to life by Juan Palomino's striking illustrations that evoke humanity's earliest art. A beautiful introduction to Andean mythology for young readers.
