Description
Runs Like The Wind was a young girl who lived in a southwest New Mexico Mimbres pueblo long ago. Her little brother, Sleeps Too Much, fell asleep one day while watching wild turkeys that were important to his pueblo. He dreamed of hearing the ferocious roar of a mountain lion…or was the roar real? He told his cousin Hits With His Fist about hearing the lion’s roar. Strong Bear, the children’s father, knew Sleeps Too Much had a big imagination. He doubted the story his son told about the lion. The village elders began to doubt him as well. Would his sister believe him? This is a story of how Runs Like The Wind learns about trustworthiness, and is the fourth book in a series written to help children learn about good character traits. The children’s adventures are brought to life through the illustrations of everyday life as depicted on the pottery bowls by Mimbres artists of a thousand years ago.
