Synopsis:
A
young Cheyenne girl makes beautiful buckskin quill designs which make the
people of her village proud. But when Quillworker begins creating a set of seven
special warrior buckskins after having a dream, her mother wonders why the
Great Spirit chose her only child for such a task. It’s not until Quillworker
journeys far from home in search of the Seven Brothers and faces the leader of
the Buffalo Nation that Quillworker realizes what the spirits have in store for
her.
Why
you should read it:
Being
part Cherokee, I find myself drawn to stories of the Native Americans especially
their legends of creation or folklore. During a time when little was known
about the earth and sky, the Cheyenne told stories of how the stars were born
to help take away the fear of the unknown. Emerging readers interested in the history
of other cultures will enjoy the legend of Quillworker and her journey to the
stars. This book also contains back matter about the Cheyenne people and their
way of life on the Great Plains.
