Dreambirds are magnificent

On Natsama's seventh birthday his beloved grandmother gives him a gift: "At the beginning & ending of every day, dreambirds spread their wings. One wing reaches out to the sun & the other reaches out to the moon. Whoever finds a dreambird receives a great gift." Natsama's grandmother is a wise medicine woman, who takes him on long treks to teach him the ways of nature & gather healing herbs. She teahes him the difference between hearing & listening. W#hen Natsama reaches his teenage rite of passage he forgets everything except that his grandmother promised him a gift if he can only find the dreambirds. With Jody Bergsma incredible illustrations this is the story of Natsama's coming of age. Absolutely riveting! END
