Awarded the 2007 Lacapa Honor Prize for Narrative, this bilingual picture book, presented in both Navajo and English, is cited by Oyate's Beverly Slapin as being a necessary "antidote" to other children's books on this topic, from Scott O'Dell's Sing Down the Moon to Ann Turner's The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow: The Diary of Sarah Nita, A Navajo Girl, New Mexico, 1864. Not having read either of these titles, I am unable to comment upon them, but an examination of the Wikipedia entry for the Navajo Long Walk, in which the death toll is listed as 200, when the actual total is believed to be more like 3,000, is convincing evidence that it isn't just children who need this "antidote."
