Navajo Girl

This is a book that teaches children about the value of the natural world and the importance of preserving it, as well as connecting with and caring for the spirit of all things.

This book in Mink's Navajo series teaches the names of some animals in Navajo language with a pronunciation guide while embedding in the minds of young readers the value of cherishing and preserving the natural world and connecting to it.equally important and deserving of respect. Plants, animals, people, and everything in nature is revered and seen as connected.

On the cover, Navajo Girl wears turquoise jewelry — buttons, a necklace, and earrings. In Navajo culture, turquoise is a sacred stone that protects us and reminds us to live in balance.

    •    The flower buttons show beauty and growth.

    •    The necklace connects us to the earth and sky.

    •    The earrings remind us to listen with our hearts.

Even though we may look different on the outside, inside we are all the same. That is why Navajo Girl and Navajo Boy share the same story inside — because every child is equal and important.
