Peruvian folktale
A Peruvian rendition of the Great Flood story, in which a llama warns the people and animals to seek shelter on Huillcacoto to avoid the rising sea, Mamacocha

This book made me relive the a younger version of myself as my grandparents would often tell me stories of animals or people overcoming great obstacles in their life. I find this book does not alienate anyone who is not familiar with the telling of the Hispanic or Latino mythology. You can almost imagine yourself helping the family up to Huillcaca to avoid drowning.
