"When I first saw a Peruvian Hairless Dog, I asked my parents why it had no hair? When I found out that there were no legends or folktales to explain why it was hairless, I decided to write my own," said Siena Ferreyra-MacPete. "I am excited that my book will also introduce kids to Peruvian culture.
