"The blue jackal": a perfect work to bring your children a taste for the aesthetics of illustrations

This could be the story of any jackal, but it is not. And it is not for many reasons, of which I will first highlight one that It is intended to educate the aesthetic sense of children. This is because the illustrations that accompany this children's story (or legend), come from the tradition of the Warli tribe (West India). If I tell you more about his style I am giving you too many clues about the content of the book, but what I can tell you is that Dileep Joshi's drawings are incredibly attractive, although only white on brown or blue has been used, with a very small exception. And about the story he tells you don't want to know anything? It is the work of Shobha Viswanath, and It is edited in Spanish by Narval Editores. Juno is a small jackal, and he is also thin who lives with his relatives. Their life is not easy because, due to their size and age, older people abuse their hierarchical position a bit. But everything will change after escaping the night attack of some dogs ...

Juno will become blue for a while, and revered for believing the rest a god. If you ask me more, I can also contribute that in its pages they highlight some simple but complete strokes, showing the daily life of the Warli, and the relationship of humans with the rest of animals. There are times when it seems that the drawings count more than the text.

Narval (I don't know if I had said it on occasion) is one of my favorite publishers, because they always surprise me, and it's one of the requirements that I value very much. By the way, the title the cover with which I illustrate this entry does not correspond to the book that I have in my hands, which is published in Spanish.
