Alice Yazzie's Year

I was amazed by this book. The format looks like a children's book, but the subject matter and vocabulary is for an older child, I would say 10-12 yrs. There was a depth to this book that I certainly did not expect. I live in Navajo country and know many Navajo children. This book is an excellent introduction to the life of a modern day Navajo girl. I am glad a reprint is now available!
