Cradle Me
Debby Slier
Board book
(Starbright Books, Jan. 15, 2012)
The rich Native American tradition of carrying babies safely, comfortably and close to their mothers in cradle boards endures to this day. As shown in this photo-filled book, each cradle board is personalized and they differ from tribe to tribe, not only in style but also in the material used. This die-cut shaped, fill-in-the blanks book features cradle boards from Paiute, Shoshone, Pueblo and other tribes and enables readers to write in their own language.
