El bosque de lo diminuto
ISBN: 978-956-9866-27-2
Sol Undurraga / Mujer Gallina
Saposcat
Is this an information book? A picture book? A sketchbook? In any case, it is a book that transcends
the boundaries of genre and classification. n El bosque de lo diminuto the illustrator Sol Undurraga
– also known by her pen name Mujer Gallina – devotes herself, with the support of Marcela
Fuentealba, to the smallest creatures of the forest. Using bright colours, the magnifi ent, powerful
images show the captivating beauty and diversity of the fascinating, but sometimes a little bit
creepy...insects and spiders. Individual species are presented in small formats or in page-fillin
displays. In essence, the unusual book tries to illustrate the fragility of the forest as an ecosystem, in
which everything is interconnected to form a greater whole, and to give evidence of how humans
are endangering it. Sol Undurraga takes a personal approach to this topic by placing scientific fa ts
alongside curious details, and, suddenly, in the middle of the book, by discussing the human lack
of respect for nature.
