Little Herder in Autumn

Indian Life Readers

Teacher Ann Nolan Clark's 1940 story of Navajo life as seen through the eyes of a young Navajo girl is again available in an attractive new format. This poetically rendered, bilingual account describes herding, weaving, and jewelry making and will appeal to young and adult readers. Clark, a prolific, award-winning children's writer, field-researched her Navajo books in 1938-39. The Little Herder texts were translated by Robert W. Young and edited by John E Harrington. Drawings throughout by Navajo artist Hoke Denetsosie.
