Watákame's Journey: The Story of the Great Flood and the New World

84 pp. | Clear Light | August, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-57416-029-X $$14.95
(4) 4-6 In preparation for an imminent flood, Nakawé, goddess of all growing things, instructs Watákame, a young boy, to make a boat; his ensuing journey leads him to become the first shaman of Mexico's Huichol Indians. The text is compelling but too breathlessly action-packed to resonate like the book's illustrations, radiant colored-yarn paintings created by eleven Huichol artists expressly for this project.
