Description

A beautifully illustrated Spanish picture book celebrating Native American wisdom and environmental stewardship.

When Oniya, a young bison whose name means “breath” in Lakota, loses his herd due to environmental changes, he embarks on a spiritual journey across Great Turtle Island. Through tears that become rivers and dreams that restore hope, Oniya discovers that strength comes from within.

This stunning book features authentic Lakota cultural elements, breathtaking illustrations by Elizabeth Argüello, and a powerful conservation message. Text is entirely in Spanish with English summary for educators and bilingual families. A portion of proceeds supports actual bison conservation in Colorado.

Perfect for Spanish classrooms, multicultural libraries, and families seeking diverse literature that makes a real-world difference.
