Ann Nolan Clark's moving stories of Navajo life as seen through the eyes of a young Navajo girl are available in print again. These poetically rendered, bilingual accounts of Navajo culture and traditions describe a sustainable way of life that is rooted in the land and linked to the seasons.

In Winter 3. in Spring 4. In Summer This edition has been newly typeset in Navajo and designed to closely resemble the original.… (more)
