Tony Hillerman: The Boy Who Made Dragonfly |
From the Publisher: "In our society," Hillerman explains, "this would be called a 'Bible story.' Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people." It tells the consequences of a drought in which the Zuni crops were ruined and the tribe was forced to accept charity from the neighboring Hopis. "Although this book is an excellent one for children of all ages, it should not be reserved solely for them. An impressive work..." The Monitor, McAllen, Texas Tony Hillerman: The Boy Who Made Dragonfly. A Zuni Myth. Illustrated by Janet Grado. University of New Mexico Press, ISBN: 0826309100 (August, 1986), 82 p., $10.95
