Thirteen Moons on Turtle’s Back

To many Native Americans, the 13 cycles of the moon represent the changing seasons and the passage of time. Each moon has its own special name that, while varying among the tribal nations, is consistent with the legend that the 13 scales on Old Turtle’s back hold the key to these moons. The authors present 13 poems that take readers through the year, from the “Moon of Popping Trees”–when the “cottonwoods crack with frost”–to the “Big Moon” of the Abenakis. The book’s effective design consists of verses in vertical columns at the left of each spread, with the remainder occupied by Locker’s ( Family Farm ; Catskill Eagle ) typically lush artwork. His oil paintings are eye-catching in their depth of color reflecting dramatic seasonal changes.

This unusual and intelligent book is an exemplary introduction to Native American culture with its emphasis on the importance of nature. All ages. More…
