Folklore
I would rate this book as excellent. This is a Navajo tale of a girl named Wandering Girl. Wandering Girl, who is later known as Weaving Woman, is offered a precious gift from the Spirit Being, Spider Woman. This gift comes with an important message about overindulgence.
I would rate this book as excellent. I love the illustrations, which are bright and colorful and show the patterns that the Navajo used in their weaving and painting. I would use this book in a unit on North Americans of the Southwest as this is a Navajo tale.
