A Year of Moons

"Written by renowned Native author, poet, and storyteller Joseph Bruchac, this book is a collection of stories and essays centered around the author's home and the traditional Abenaki lunar cycles of a year, exposing the natural world and our connection to the land, the plants, and the animals that surround us. Interspersing traditional Native tales and poems with stories from his own life and contemporary Native life, the author highlights how each lunar month represents a unique time of year in the Abenaki calendar and natural world. Each essay also contains haikus written by the author that further illuminate the beauty of the world around us."--
