While searching for a lost sheep, a Goajiro Indian shepherd boy encounters a monster that is neither a cow nor a horse, nor any other creature he has ever seen, and when his family assures him it is not a demon but an outsider's truck the knowledge changes his life "This is a beautiful story, a story that no child can forget. Magic, fantasy, dreams, and reality merge, as it often happens in the minds of children. In this story, the culture of the Wayuu people becomes alive with its richness, its ancient truth. We feel like we are traveling through another world, one where anything can happen. The author of this story lost his sight at the age of 9. At 17 he was admitted to a school for the blind in Caracas and shortly thereafter he became a braille teacher. He taught indigenous languages at the University of Zulia, and in 2006 he won the Venezuelan National Prize for Literature. Some of his works have been translated into Norwegian and Danish."
