  • thirteen moons on turtles back

    I decided to purchase this book for my collection after finding it at our local musuem. I knew i could purchase this on e-bay for a cheaper price. We are inspired to learn about different cultures. This book is a native american legend that has been told to many generations. The art work in this book is of oil painting mystical quality.This book has inspired me to do a art project in fabric of the turtle with the thirteen areas of it's shell. The description of the change of seasons relating to mother earth and all of it's creatures is creative and beautiful.

  • Native American folklore that “explains” the 13 moon phases. Beautifully illustrated too.

    Short and easy to read! Provides the reader with insightful perspective and alternative explanations to the natural phenomena of moon phases.

  • Amazing, informative book artistically done

    Excellent book of poems showing the Native American lunar calendar found on the back scutes of North American turtles. Quite informative, and very sweet. Beautifully illustrated
