I already updated OCLC. There are two libraries in the United States and two libraries in Israel than own a copy of the book. I couldn't find on Even-Zohar's website a mention of this title: He was 19 years old when the book was published.

The author’s name should be linked to the authority file of Sekelj, Tibor, 1912-1988, a Jewish Esperanto scholar and world traveler whose Kumeŭaŭa, la filo de la ĝangalo (Kumewawa, the son of the jungle) was translated into many languages, including Hebrew (this title; a children's book about the life of Brazilian Indians). See the following Wikipedia page<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibor_Sekelj__;!!KGKeukY!19lJSKBDHLU6ZGleqWsPQL47taNgKecReYtcpW4-fr9xSirOyP1py__lzKLgVrJCR0KjLANOF7IsIo3IifpeucqFhPwQSRg$>: Tibor Sekelj (14 February 1912 – 23 September 1988), also known as Székely Tibor according to Hungarian orthography, was a Hungarian born polyglot, explorer, author, and 'citizen of the world.' In 1986 he was elected a member of the Academy of Esperanto and an honorary member of the World Esperanto Association. Among his novels, travel books and essays, his novella Kumeŭaŭa, la filo de la ĝangalo ("Kumewawa, the son of the jungle"), a children's book about the life of Brazilian Indians, was translated into seventeen languages, and in 1987 it was voted best Children's book in Japan. In 2011 the European Esperanto Union declared 2012 "The Year of Tibor Sekelj" to honor the 100th anniversary of his birth.

I hope that helps... Once the Hebrew title is added, I hope that the bio-bibliographic entries are corrected, too. How did I fall into this rabbit hole?
