Table of ContentsReviewsOne of my favorite books for young readers, not just for the beautiful illustrations but for its poetic, memorable text. No children s writer I know has done a better job of putting our traditions into the context of modern times while also dealing with the issue of mixed-blood ancestry in a way that is both honest and heart-lifting.--Joseph Bruchac, author of Jim Thorpe s Bright Path One of my favorite books for young readers, not just for the beautiful illustrations but for its poetic, memorable text. No children's writer I know has done a better job of putting our traditions into the context of modern times while also dealing with the issue of mixed-blood ancestry in a way that is both honest and heart-lifting.--Joseph Bruchac, author of Jim Thorpe's Bright Path Author InformationAbenaki poet, Cheryl Savageau has been awarded Fellowships in Poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation, and three residencies at the MacDowell Colony. Her second book of poetry, Dirt Road Home, was a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize.
