Let’s talk about a story that is from a community and told by them in their own language. How about a book that shares the story with the world, then directly funds communities and projects just like it?
With the village of Vitis, we published a batch of books telling the local myth of Ashincuy.
This book is super cool and unique for several reasons:
There is NO other book like it! And there won’t be again, until the Books in All Languages project publishes its next piece.
Which is something else you will be a part of upon purchasing Ashincuy! Proceeds from Ashincuy will go to creating the next book, an indigenous story from the remote Jaqaru-speaking region of Peru.
And we’ll send you updates of this project, since your money makes it possible.
Finally, hear the story in Quechua. Quechua is a verbal language so this is the “most authentic” way to tell Ashincuy.
Still not sure? Here are a couple of the illustrations by the impressive young artists:
This is a great, unique way to have a cultural experience right in your living room. And it would enhance anyone’s trip to Peru.
Even if you haven’t been to Peru, you still can be part of the preservation and celebration of indigenous languages and customs.
Be sure to go to our shop quickly if you would like one of these books. Because Ashincuy is our pilot project, we only have one box of them!
