Este cuento está basado en una leyenda de Bali recogida en distintos volúmenes de cuentos tradicionales. En esas versiones el protagonista es un tigre o un león; en esta, es el gran felino americano. El puma, Jefe del Bosque y la Montaña, es interpelado por el monito del monte, quien le pide suprimir el molesto jolgorio de los loros. Estos explican que gritan avisando que el guanaco escupe un líquido pegajoso. El guanaco se defiende, indicando que la quirquincha usa su escupo para arreglar su madriguera, reseca por el sol. El puma va finalmente en busca del sol; al encontrarse con él, al amanecer, observa cómo animales, plantas, río, viento despiertan en armonía unos con otros. Comprende entonces que todos los seres de la naturaleza están unidos por una cadena invisible. El libro incluye información sobre las especies de animales involucradas en el cuento: nombre científico, estado de conservación, características particulares.

With the perfect blend of humor and heart, this poignant story about family, grief, and changes beyond our control is perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead, Meg Medina, and Lynne Kelly.
When life doesn’t make sense, twelve-year-old amateur astronomer Tuesday Beals has always looked to the stars above Zion National Park, where she lives. Her beloved late uncle Ezra taught her astronomy, but now their special stargazing sites are all she has left of him, along with his ashes and a poem that may be a riddle.
Then a new housing development next door threatens to ruin the night skies and her favorite astronomy spots. Desperate to focus on something besides the growing uncle-sized chasm between her and her mother, the park archeologist, Tuesday takes up photography with her best friend, Carter, after they find an abandoned camera. With this new way of seeing the universe, she tries to solve her uncle’s riddle to save the land.
But one day, a photo reveals clues about an endangered animal—one that could halt construction. Will the discovery be enough to save the park and keep the rest of her world from falling apart?
