Gorgeous illustrations

Beautifully illustrated, this book is a delightful authentic Native American tale. Every child I bought this for has loved the drawings.

Beautiful, Authentic

Geri is a genuine Native American storyteller (Navajo) and one of the few authentic indian authors of children's books today. This book reflects her creativity, while the vivid and beautiful illustrations excite the imagination! "Snail Girl" is based on a story from the Navajo creation myth which imparts respect and honor for a most precious substance, water. Highly recommended.
