About the project

Putunkaa Serruma gathers the lullabies, tales, and games that Arhuaco, Kamëntšá, Piapoco, Uitoto, and Wuayuu peoples use to welcome their babies, raise them, and prepare them for adulthood. With fun interactions and animations, this appbook shares the wonderful traditions and endearing stories of these five indigenous groups of Colombia, strengthening the bonds among children, parents, and communities.

 

This appbook is part of the series With Differential Approach launched in 2014 by Fundalectura and the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) ⎯ whose goal is to celebrate Colombia’s cultural diversity by bringing us closer to the melodies, songs, stories, and games that kids in rural, indigenous, Afro-descendant, and gypsy homes grow up with, featured in their native languages and in Spanish, and with beautiful illustrations by prominent Colombian artists.
