Organized by Olívio Jekupé, one of Brazil’s leading Indigenous authors, the book brings together narratives by Guarani writers including Maria Kerexu, Leandro Kuaray, Jera Giselda Guarani, and Luiz Carlos Karai. Rooted in oral tradition, the stories highlight values such as respect for elders, cooperation, wisdom, forgiveness, and the deep relationship between Indigenous peoples and nature. Recognized as Highly Recommended by FNLIJ in the Retelling category, the collection also contributes to the preservation and dissemination of Indigenous literary voices.

Fernando Vilela’s illustrations enhance the stories through vibrant imagery inspired by the natural world and Guarani cultural heritage. The volume is further enriched by introductory and informational texts about the Guarani people, their language, and the daily lives of children in Guarani communities. Blending mythology, cultural knowledge, and visual storytelling, Tales from the Guarani Indian Tribe offers a rare and engaging opportunity to experience Indigenous narratives told from Indigenous perspectives.
