Navajo Wedding Day: A Diné Marriage Ceremony

(4) 1-3 This story describes a traditional Navajo wedding from the point of view of a white child whose best friend, Vanessa, is Navajo. Throughout the day, Vanessa's family explains the details that are part of the wedding ceremony. Though somewhat washed-out looking, the colored pencil art effectively illustrates information in the text. An author's note discussing sources would have been useful.
