Shota and the Star Quilt

(4) 1-3 Translated by Philomine Lakota. Illustrated by Christine Fowler. A bilingual text in English and Lakota tells about a Lakota Sioux girl who makes a star quilt and gives it to the rich and powerful man who wants to tear down her apartment building to create commercial enterprises. The quilt reminds him about family, friends, and love, and he changes his mind. Illustrated with striking artwork, the text, though contrived, provides an intriguing glimpse of Lakota culture in modern America.
