- Synopsis
- A stunningly illustrated fable about cultural humility and the transcendent power of stories. A young teacher sets out for the Amazon rain forest, eager to share geography, science, and math with the remote community of Las Delicias. The town&’s children love the books the young teacher brings, and yet they keep repeating legends about a great and dangerous serpent. The young teacher can&’t believe her students still care about that nonsense. But as the river rises, those stories don&’t seem so strange anymore. Maybe books aren&’t the only way to discover the wisdom of past generations…The Young Teacher and the Great Serpent is a poetic, thought-provoking exploration of how stories can protect and guide a community. Bold, dynamic art and lyrical writing will open unforgettable conversations about cross-cultural relationships, the importance of indigenous knowledge, and what it means to be a lifelong learner.
