Unusual and intelligent...An exemplary introduction to Native American culture with its emphasis on the importance of nature. Publishers Weekly

In Native American legend, the thirteen scales on Old Turtle's back hold the key to the thirteen cycles of the moon and the changing seasons. These lyrical poems and striking paintings celebrate the wonder of the seasons, from the Northern Cheyenne's Moon of the Popping Trees to the Big Moon of the Abenaki.

This book instills a spiritual respect for our land and an appreciation for the people who were its first caring guardians. American Bookseller
