About this book

Español

Viviana y la leyenda de los Hoodoos

Hace tiempo, los Viejos eran malos. Se bebieron toda el agua, se comieron todos los piñones y no dejaron nada para las demás criaturas. Sinawav, el coyote, los castigó convirtiéndolos en hoodoos de roca. Ahora, cuando los niños se portan mal, sus mayores paiute les recuerdan esa leyenda. Viviana la conoce bien, pero este año, mientras sube la meseta con su abuela para recoger piñones, solo piensa en las pruebas de baloncesto. Cuando falta el respeto a los árboles y la tierra, su abuela le recuerda la leyenda y la importancia de cuidar la naturaleza que sostiene a su gente.

English

Vivian and the Legend of the Hoodoos

Long ago, greedy people angered the coyote spirit Sinawav, who turned them into stone hoodoos as punishment. Now Paiute elders remind misbehaving children of that legend. Vivian has heard the story many times, but this year, as she and her grandmother climb the mesa to gather pine nuts, she's distracted by basketball tryouts. When Vivian disrespects the trees and the land, her grandmother retells the legend of the hoodoos, teaching her how nature has always sustained their people and why respect for it matters.
