Nannabah's Friend

By Mary Perrine

Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard

Hennepin County Library hardcover unpaged

Genre: Picture book

Published: 1970

 

A former colleague of mine, Mary Perrine, has published two books. I was curious to read them, so I go this. . . . Wrong Mary Perrine! I read it anyhow. Interesting how "old" the illustrations looked. A girl has to take the sheep to pasture by herself for the first time and is scared. She makes two dolls out of mud and leaves them in a hogan she also makes. The next day, another girl is there with her dolls. Sweet little story about a Navajo girl growing up.
