  Caracas, 1 Mar (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan publishing house Monte Avila will
present a new children´s book in its "Warairarepano" bilingual collection,
devoted to promote literature in indigenous languages. 

   The book, "La abuela de las garzas", is the story of a child and his
relationship with indigenous knowledge and wisdom and will be presented on

   The Warairarepano collection expands cultural interchange to all social
sectors in Venezuela, as well as promotes and preserves indigenous languages
