Description
In this classic novel of the Southwest, Byrd Baylor paints a sensitive and humorous picture of the Tohono O'odham people who have moved away from the reservation to find an unfamiliar and often puzzling world of urban white society in Tucson, Arizona. This book is a timeless story of cultures in conflict and an engaging account of how the characters have uniquely adapted to a modern world.
About the Author
Byrd Baylor has always lived in the Southwest, mainly in Southern Arizona near the Mexican border. She is at home with the southwestern desert cliffs and mesas, rocks and open skies. She is comforted by desert storms. The Tohono O’odham people, previously known as the Papagos, are her neighbors and close friends. She has focused many of her writings on the region’s landscape, peoples, and values. Through her books of rhythmic prose poetry, written primarily for children, she celebrates the beauty of nature and her own feelings of rapport with it.
