-- Songs of the Wind Dancer is by Lou Cuevas, who was taught the legends of his ancestors by his full-blooded Apache grandfather. Lou's vivid narratives capture the imagination and transport the reader into the world of the ancient American Southwest, where a magical ceremony can turn boys into birds that fly and youthful romance takes on new meaning. Not only are the tales enjoyable to read, but each has a moral truth to impart.

-- from the Center to the Edge of the World by James Freeman. This gripping work of historical fiction allows us to see another side of the famous Yahi Indian, as he and his family take refuge in the most secluded areas of their ancestral lands. After Ishi was captured, in August 1911, as the last living Yahi, he was taken to the University of California at Berkeley. A man between two worlds, his simple wisdom leaves us a compelling message.
