Synopsis

These beautiful and tender lullabies combine Native American themes with universal concerns of parenthood. Collected from the Native American peoples of the Northeast (Ojibwa), the Plains (Arapaho, Kiowa, Pawnee, Crow), the Southwest (Hopi, Acoma, Yuma), the Northwest (Kwakiutl, Haida, Tsimshian), and the Arctic (Inuit), the lullabies are illustrated with the gorgeous photographs of Edward S. Curtis, printed in duotone. Simply expressed yet deeply felt, these brief poems offer an intimate look at Native American family life.

Revue de presse

Striking, carefully chosen photographs, originally published in the early 1900s, portray the spirit of the words. . . .The sepia-tone printing gives the photographs an authentic and classic look that could not be achieved with full color printing. Background information on Native American lullabies is located at the end, and the lengthy acknowledgement of source text will provide older children with ideas for further reading and research. Little ones will enjoy listening to the soothing words before bed.
Booklist, ALA

"These poem/songs offer a beautiful way to remind students of the daily lives and common humanity of some of this country's natives." School Library Journal
