AICL Best Books 2023!
The Summer book depicts life on the Taos Pueblo during the warm months of summer.
These delightful text-free board books allow new stories to be created every time they are shared. Each book is filled with beautiful hand-drawn illustrations that showcase one of the four seasons of the year, enabling young children to readily learn about them.
The Taos Pueblo’s Tiwa Language Program originally developed the board books to teach young Tiwa children about their culture and to revitalize the Tiwa language. But because the books are free of text, other American Indian nations can find them useful for teaching their young children their Native language. All proceeds support the Taos Pueblo’s Tiwa Language Program.
ILLUSTRATOR

She created one of the promotional logos for the Taos Pueblo Tiwa Language Program. Her paintings for this book were inspired by the beautiful Taos Pueblo scenery.
