Notes:  A Hopi folktale (with art by Michael Lacapa) masquerading as a children’s book.  The story, about taking care of your elders, is straightforward enough.  The artwork, however, is not aimed at children.  It’s not cuddly mice and bunnies and holding mommy’s hand, it’s modern Hopi art.  Beautiful in its own way.
