Sky Dancers

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christy Hale. John Cloud, a Mohawk boy, travels from the reservation in upstate New York to visit Papa, a steelworker on the Empire State Building. Rich, sunlit gouache illustrations establish the 1930s setting for this well-told story of a boy's pride in his father, his people, and--for his newfound ability to hear Father Sky and Mother Earth--himself. A historical note is appended.
