New York: The Viking Press, 1938. First edition. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this classic story, featuring the adventures of a Mexican boy who gets lost in the jungle - with original watercolor of the title character. Leo Politi wrote and illustrated books for children and adults, and made it a point to tell stories outside of the dominant cultural settings in the US publishing scene. His work "was revered for capturing a diversity of people," and for sparking conversations about "changing communities, who belongs, and how we balance development with the preservation of history" (CURBED LOS ANGELES).
