Navajo Boy

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 Boy wears a turquoise necklace and a turquoise headband. In Navajo culture, turquoise is very special — it brings protection, healing, and balance.

    •    The necklace reminds us to stay connected to the earth and sky.

    •    The headband shows strength and focus, helping him walk a good path.

Just like Navajo Girl, Navajo Boy shows that even if we wear different things on the outside, we are the same on the inside. Every child is important and has a special place in the world.
