Patricia (Paty) Gualinga creció en su aldea kichwa, en la Amazonía ecuatoriana, donde seres míticos llamados Amazangas ayudan a proteger la selva. Debido a los estudios, Paty dejó su hogar hasta que se vio obligada a regresar. En la búsqueda de petróleo, compañías que afirmaban que el gobierno les había vendido propiedades estaban destruyendo las tierras del pueblo de Paty. La comunidad kichwa trabajó junto con otros grupos indígenas para llevar al gobierno ecuatoriano ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.

Patricia (Paty) Gualinga grew up in her Kichwa village in the Amazon of Ecuador where mystical beings called Amazanga help protect the forest. Paty traveled away from home for school until she was called back—companies that said the government sold them property were destroying her people’s lands to look for oil. The Kichwa community worked with other Indigenous groups to bring the Ecuadorian government to the Court of Human Rights.
Lyrically told and beautifully illustrated, this moving story will remind readers of the importance of nature conservation, perseverance, and standing up for your community.
