The picture book, The forest that whistles, is a true tribute to the myths and legends of the oral tradition of the Peruvian rainforest. It tells us about a never-ending game that starts every time that the scary Tunche whistles when he senses the presence of a human. The Chullachaqui, who is a playful and nostalgic character in this version of the tale, will be the one rescuing Francisco, the human who is immersed in the rainforest from the hypnotized whistle. This picture book is an exercise for the mind that invites us to playfully defeat oblivion through what we love, helping us to go back home.
