Description
A young Lakota Indian girl and her little brother Young Wolf wander away from their village and soon find themselves lost in the prairie. As they sit down to watch the clouds, they start to see animals taking shape - an eagle, horses, and more. But when a wall of fire appears, they must flee for their lives. The children tumble into a shallow stream, escaping the flames, but soon realize they are hopelessly lost. Night is coming, and they wonder how they will get home to their parents. The evening stars dance in the sky, adding to their confusion. S. D. Nelson's illustrations bring traditional Lakota ledger book art to life, telling a memorable new legend about the Star People.
