Mito Taíno

In the beginning, there was nothing...except Atabey, the Mother Goddess. From her came the heavens and the first breath of creation. This is the world as told by the Taínos, the Indigenous people of the Caribbean whose ancestral homelands include Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Cuba, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.This beautifully illustrated book brings the Taíno creation story to life, reimagining the tale of Atabey and her two sons, Yucajú and Guacar, and the forces that shaped the natural world. Rooted in the traditions of the Taínos of Puerto Rico, this retelling honors one of the oldest mythologies of the Caribbean and celebrates the cultural heritage of the author/illustrator's homeland.Perfect for readers interested in Indigenous mythology, Caribbean history, ancestral storytelling, or nature¿centered creation tales. Ideal for families, educators, and anyone seeking to reconnect with the rich spiritual traditions of the Taíno people.
