Olinguito Speaks Up/Olinguito alzo la voz written by Cecilia Velástegui and illustrated by Jade Fang.
Shy Olinguito helps forgetful Tómas, an ancient Galapagos tortoise, recall how he ended far from his native island and in Ecuador cloud forest. Due to Tómas’ memory loss and confusion, the other animals think his stories are “tall tales” and tease him. Olinguito finds the other animals treatment of Tómas disrespectful and sets out to help Tómas prove the truthfulness of his stories. With Olinguito’s support, Tómas reveals the twists and turns that took him from his island home to the cloud forest.
