Sixteen spirits. One island's story.
Long before Columbus ever reached the shores of Boriken, the Taíno people of Puerto Rico told stories of gods who shaped the sun and sea, ruled the storms, and walked beside the living and the dead.
16 Taíno Gods & Legends brings this ancient mythology to life through richly detailed, intricate line art, ready for you to color. Meet Yaya, the supreme creator whose grief gave birth to the ocean. Discover Guabancex, the fierce goddess of hurricanes, and her storm-herald spirits Guataubá and Coatrisquie. Walk with Atabey, mother of all waters, and Maketaori Guayaba, guardian of the spirit world.
Each of the 16 figures includes:
• A richly detailed portrait page and a narrative scene page
• Name, pronunciation guide, and a short history rooted in real Taíno mythology
• Sourcing drawn from the earliest written record of Taíno belief, Fray Ramón Pané's 1498 Relación acerca de las antigüedades de los indios
This is more than a coloring book — it's an invitation to explore Puerto Rico's indigenous roots, one page at a time. Whether you're Puerto Rican and reconnecting with your heritage, a mythology lover discovering a rarely told tradition, or simply searching for a coloring book unlike anything else on the shelf, 16 Taíno Gods & Legends offers a journey worth coloring in.
Inside this book:
• 16 fully illustrated Taíno gods, goddesses, and spirits

• Pronunciation guides and short histories for each legend
• Sourced from real Taíno mythology and historical record
