Produktbeschreibung
Little Bravebird and the Grandparent's Gifts is fiction, and, like the classics, for both children, youth and grown-ups. Its is historical fiction in that there are parallel stories: one that of Little Bravebird's Navaho and French - American grandparents, WWII and the Navaho Code-Talkers and life after that; the other, a coming of age story of their orphaned grandson, Little Bravebird, age 5, who, through struggling with learning, and in particular, reading has an awesome memory and is, in the idiom, "street smart." His grandparents draw on their own life experiences to help him discover "how" he learns, and encourages him with stories of their life experiences, and learning games - from how to catch a fish, to how to ask for help when it is needed. Walk with Little Bravebird through his childhood, and growing up years, until adulthood, when, although his grandparents are gone, the "gifts" they gave him have seen him become both a teacher, a writer, a husband, and, like his grandfather, a warrior. Heartfelt, historical, amusing, sad, tragic, and overcoming. A tale of a New Mexico Pueblo family.
Autorenporträt
Ms. Ashton wrote Ride the Wild Wind, Book I - Sheriff Robert Gallegos - Friends and Enemies, because she loves New Mexico, and because, one day, babysitting some of her paintings in a gallery in Taos, New Mexico, she began a series of water-color portrait sketches. When she had about twenty-five, she was sure she heard their collective voices: "Write our story," so she did. Unwilling to "leave" her imaginary valley, she has now completed Book II - Sheriff Robert Gallegos-The Witch's Grave, and will continue on, as the characters keep insisting, "Write our stories," into Book III.
