Yacay, una vivaz niña patagónica, emprende un viaje a través de vastas estepas y vientos susurrantes, buscando comprender las fuerzas naturales que la rodean. En el camino, interactúa con guanacos, búhos y espíritus ancestrales, desdibujando la línea entre la realidad y el mito. Este texto lírico, basado en la tradición indígena patagónica, ofrece a los estudiantes bilingües una puerta de entrada para explorar la ecología, la narración poética y las perspectivas indígenas sobre la tierra.
