English Description:

Con la cabeza en alto: Cómo una comunidad amazónica protegió la selva by Patricia Gualinga and Laura Resau, illustrated by Vanessa Jaramillo, is a poetic and empowering picture book that tells the true story of how the Kichwa community of Sarayaku in Ecuador defended their sacred rainforest from oil exploration. Through the eyes of activist Paty Gualinga, readers ages 6–9 witness the strength of Indigenous resistance, the wisdom of ancestral protectors called Amazangas, and the community’s historic victory in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. With 40 pages of lyrical Spanish-language text and evocative illustrations, the book celebrates environmental stewardship, perseverance, and the power of collective action.
