Description
Thirteen Moons on Turtle's Back: A Native American Year of Moons This beautifully illustrated collection celebrates the changing seasons through poetry and striking artwork. In Native American legend, the thirteen scales on Old Turtle's back hold the key to understanding the cycles of the moon and the natural world. The book explores the significance of each season, from the Northern Cheyenne's Moon of the Popping Trees to the Big Moon of the Abenaki. The result is a lyrical tribute to the wonder of nature and an appreciation for the people who cared for it first. A respectful and thought-provoking introduction to Native American culture, this book instills a sense of spiritual connection with the land and its original guardians.
