About the Author:

Betsy James has written and illustrated several picture books and is the author of two young adult novels. She lives in Placitas, New Mexico.
Paul Morin's first book, Orphan Boy, was an ALA Notable Book in 1991. A painter, sculptor, and musician, he lives in a house at the edge of a forest in Ontario, Canada.
Review:

"A sweet story, personalizing the lives of a long-ago people.... Paul Morin's strong illustrations are so textural that you can almost feel the paint on the canvas."--The Miami Herald


"A simple text told in simple terms, this first-person narrative...never waivers from its purpose.... The story is lovely and well told, and the illustrations are a stunning complement."--The Bloomsbury Review


"Oil paintings in earth tones on canvas...provide a textured look at the American Southwest setting.... An unusual mixture of an ancient culture and timeless human emotions."--Booklist


"An Anasazi setting imparts freshness and originality to an ageless childhood dilemma: the unappreciative family... James's first-person narration conveys Sosi's conflicted feelings in simple, effective prose, unadorned by melodrama. Morin's finely textured paintings have a 3-D quality."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)


"Told in simple language with thickly textured oil paintings adding atmospheric richness to this story of the interconnectedness of land, water, and people."--Atlanta Journal Constitution
