About the book

At the beginning of life on Earth, a war takes over forests: on one side, the hawks and their army; on the other, the vultures and their troops. The god Monag, sad and worried, entrusts the Uirapuru with the mission of ending the battle. But how can he do that, if the small bird’s only weapon is the most beautiful and majestic voice ever heard? Besides the Uirapuru, who is the hero of this fable about accepting difference, other incredible animals inhabit this book: the famous Bumba Meu Boi, the wild Jaguar of the Crooked Hand, and the disturbing Tutu, among others.
