Tello","description":"\u003cp\u003eAl crecer a fines del siglo XIX, Julio Tello, un niño indígena, pasó un tiempo explorando las cuevas y los cementerios en las estribaciones de los Andes peruanos. Nada asustó a Julio, ni siquiera los antiguos cráneos humanos que encontró. Su valentía le valió el apodo de la infancia Sharuko, que significa valiente en quechua, el idioma de los nativos del Perú. A los doce años, Julio se mudó a Lima para continuar su educación. Mientras estaba en la escuela de medicina, descubrió un artículo sobre los cráneos que había encontrado. Las calaveras habían sido enviadas hace mucho tiempo a Lima para ser estudiadas por los científicos. El artículo renovó el interés de Julio en su ascendencia, y decidió dedicar sus habilidades médicas al estudio de la historia indígena del Perú. Durante su vida, Julio Tello hizo muchos descubrimientos revolucionarios en sitios arqueológicos en todo el Perú, y trabajó para preservar los tesoros históricos que excavó. Mostró que las culturas indígenas del Perú se habían establecido hace miles de años, refutando la creencia popular de que la cultura peruana se había introducido más recientemente de otros países. Fomentó el orgullo de la ascendencia indígena de su país, convirtiéndolo en un héroe para todos los peruanos. Gracias al hombre valiente que una vez fue conocido como Sharuko, la gente de todo el mundo hoy conoce la larga historia de Perú y su legado cultural vivo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecognition \/ Reconocimiento\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremio Pura Belpré al autor de libros infantiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Books del Sur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39348876968054,"sku":"9780892394234","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1752\/6773\/files\/sharukocover_1000x1000px.png?v=1762450629"},{"product_id":"a-boy-called-slow-the-true-story-of-sitting-bull","title":"A Boy Called Slow: The True Story of Sitting Bull","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Boy Called Slow tells the true story of the Lakota Sioux boy born in the 1830s who was given the name Slow — a reflection of his careful, deliberate nature — and how his determination, patience, and courage eventually earned him the name that would make him legendary: Sitting Bull.
