pickThis was an important book for me as a child. One of the few books with a “Native American“ storyline, and my childhood self understood the rarity.
While not from my ancestral tribes, this was a story from my ancestral world. I loved this story and would spend untold hours studying the illustrations.
Just reread this, and the story is still as profound to me today as it had been all those many years ago. I've fallen in love all over again. 👇

'Behold: Kali Tragus, the Russian thistle.'
Making slow progress through this one, yet it's a steady one with much pleasure. So far, it's fabulous.
A dark modern fantasy steeped in Yiddish folklore, a road trip through the vastness of the USA and the heritage, myths and memories of its immigrants.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Not book related, but I wanted to share this stunning sunrise from Langkawi, Malaysia. This was one of my favourite stops. We learnt about the legend of Mahsuri, who cursed the island for 7 generations when they mudered her after being accused of adultery by a chief's wife who was jealous of her beauty. Her ancestors are still alive, and 7 generations have passed. Will be reading more on Mahsuri
