(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Desimini. This picture book features Kokopelli, a folkloric character known to the Hopi, Zuni, and Pueblo peoples of the Southwest. Playing his flute, Kokopelli entices first the desert animals and then the children to dance behind him through the dark night. The fluid text and deep purple paintings will pull readers into a magical mood. An appended note provides information on the origins of the Kokopelli legends.
