A sort of Aesops Fables gone native, Wild Wisdom relies on a variety of scholars to retell traditional stories from the Din, Zuni, Apache, Tohono Oodham, Sioux, and other cultures. An impatient coyote creates the night skys confusion of stars. The allure of a blue ravens egg turns the Zuni people into desert dwellers. Hummingbird gathers nectar to heal fellow birds. Combined with strong artwork, each one makes for a fine bedtime story. New Mexico Magazine (Hardcover, 104 pp.)
