Opis

This charming and poignant contemporary story about two Lakota girls and their Laotian friend illuminates for children and adults the Lakota meaning of family friendship life and death. In the Lakota way Lana and her cousin Lori are like sisters growing up together under the caring eyes of an extended family of parents and grandparents. Also like sisters they have their share of squabbles and fights but when they meet a new girl at school who has recently arrived from Laos they are drawn closer by their shared friendship their discoveries about cultural differences and their experience with loss and death. An image of footprints in the snow one under the other so that it looks as if only one person is walking becomes the central compelling image in the story. "We can't keep snow from melting" says Grandpa "But the footprints will always be there even if we can't see them."Taking her inspiration from Lakota and Asian students in her home state of South Dakota award-winning children's writer Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve has crafted a simple story of friendship that survives a tragic year beautifully illuminating along the way many profound truths about the human spirit.
