Pia Toya: A Goshute Indian Legend

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Native American Legend from the Goshute Children
Review: Every child will want to experience the creation story of the Goshute Mountains time and again, and every adult will want to display the simple, yet elegant water colors associated with this story. The story is made more powerful with a description of the small community defining the Goshute Tribe of today and their dedication to natural resources. Readers will find this book to be delightful in presentation, storyline, and purpose.

Review: I did a report about Goshut people and I learned a lot from this book. I use three places and this book had the best info. I'm glad my school libary has it. It was hard to type a half a page with out this book. I love it but you might think it's boring but it is not. Have fun reading this book and I hope this review helped.

Summary: Wonderful Native American Legend from the Goshute Children
Review: This is a charming book. Amazingly, the children of the Goshute Indian Reservation have produced this book, complete with the native legend and their own artwork. In an age of super media over-production and superficial holiday glitz and consumption, this book is a welcome change. But it is professionally produced by a university press. How often do kids get published by university presses?

The elementary school children have created beautiful images along with the story. Each page has a differnt look to it, representing that child's contribution.

If you like native american legends, in the tradition of the old coyote, etc., then you will like this book. The story is beautiful and warm. The fact that it comes from the next (young) generation of Goshutes, and represents their desire to reach out to our busy world, is what makes it unique and wonderful.

Enjoy!
