Sobre este artículo
Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, 1997. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good. Stephan Gammell. CONDITION: Very good + overall, 1977 Coward, McCann hardcover (tan boards) & dust jacket (in mylar jacket), first edition, assumed first printing. The book has been lightly perused on shelf but is overall clean & tight. The dust jacket shows light edge wear top edge. I know, it sounds like less than very good +. The sepia-tone illustrations by Gammell are perfect for the subject and the text. CONTENT: He is a buffalo out of Montana. He has humped shoulders and slits for eyes. . . . Just remember, old blossom eater, you can stare down the wind. This old rodeo ain't everything. Alice Yazzie is eleven, going on twelve, and with each month that passes she is beginning to see, beginning to feel. In January, she carries the smallest lamb into the hogan, because "He's all new and starry. He's too new to be cold." In July, she walks to market. "Six miles for cupcakes and strawberry pop!" In October, she is learning to sew, staying in recesses, "whipping and stitching" a costume like no one else's. And in December, Alice is sure Grandfather Tsosie has made her a bracelet, "Blue and silver-the way the world is." There is a newer edition, but this is the original. The new edition features Begay illustrations, but I like this one. More like being on the Navajo reservation.
