(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Alcorn. Disconcertingly bouncy rhyming couplets describe the maturation of a Nez Perce boy from an eager child learning to hunt and fish to an anguished young man who has witnessed the decimation of his people and their way of life. The illustrations, polychromatic relief-block prints, provide a moving and memorable complement to the text.
