Interior text is bright and clean with no apparent faults. THE BOY WHO MADE DRAGONFLY A Zuni myth retold by TONY HILLERMAN Illustrated by Janet Grado This Zuni Indian myth was first recorded over a century ago. "In our society" Tony Hillerman explains, "it would be called a 'Bible story? Like stories based on the Old Testament, this narrative is intended to teach both the history and morality of a people." Tony Hillerman, arguably the best Anglo writer on Southwestern Indian themes, has written his version of the story to be read by children ten years old and up. Hillerman's adult fans will enjoy the tale as much as will their children. It concerns a drought in which the Zuni crops were ruined. The hero is a little boy who helps to save his people from this disaster.
