Book descriptionI feel very sorry to give this lovely little book a place on the too much message, not enough story shelf, but I just had to.Annie is a Navajo girl about ten years old who lives with her parents and grandmother in a traditional hogan, where they raise sheep, grow corn, make silver jewelry and weave rugs and blankets to sell. The desert setting described is both desolate and beautiful, and the prose itself matches it, sparse yet powerfully tender.Annies grandmother, the Old One, is greatly loved and respected by her family, not least by Annie, who loves to listen to the Old Ones stories of times long past. One night, the Old One gathers the family and tells them that once the rug Annies mother is weaving is finished and removed from the loom, I will go to Mother Earth. She asks each family member to choose a gift that she will leave them. Annie chooses the Old Ones weaving stick, but her heart is broken; she knows what her grandmother means, and she knows that it will come to pass, but she is not ready to let go.Annie contrives to delay the completion of the rug, first by playing a prank on her teacher at school. She hopes the teacher will be so angry that Annies parents will have to come to school and her mother wont have time to weave. But the prank is harmless and humorous, and the teacher is not even upset.Annie next gets up very early in the morning and lets the sheep out of their night pen, hoping that her parents will have to search all day for them, thus losing another day of weaving. But the sheep dont go far, and Annie desperately begins to unravel the rug at night.On the third night, the Old One, who never misses a trick, catches Annie pulling out the threads and understands why she is doing it. The Old One compassionately but firmly explains to Annie that time moves on and cant be held back, just as the sun must rise and set each day, and that, like the sun, she and Annie and everything in the world come from the earth and someday must return to it.Annie is comforted by this explanation and by the Old Ones peaceful acceptance of the inevitability of death, and later that day she decides that she is ready to learn to weave, thus taking her first steps toward adulthood.The dialogue was lyrical but seemed a bit too written to me, and I would so have liked to know more about Annie and her family and their lives as traditional Navajo in the modern era. The story is very sad, but also hopeful; if this is the real Navajo way of dealing with death, and with change, then it is a wonderful way.Annie and the Old One by Miska Miles tablet format author itunes online
