![The Christmas Coat: Memories of My Sioux Childhood](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1941813259.jpg?itok=6kzGcoFd)
Virginia’s coat is too small and hardly protects her from the frigid South Dakata winter. As Christmas approaches, all the children on the Sioux reservation look forward to receiving boxes full of clothing sent by congregations in the East. Virginia spots a beautiful gray fur coat but holds back tears as it is claimed by one of her classmates. Later, Virginia can’t believe what Mama brings home. Based on an event from the author’s childhood, this picture book captures the giving spirit of Christmas.

![Thirteen Moons on Turtle's Back](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0698115848.jpg?itok=kg8dKftM)
To many Native Americans, the 13 cycles of the moon represent the changing seasons and the passage of time. Each moon has its own special name that, while varying among the tribal nations, is consistent with the legend that the 13 scales on Old Turtle’s back hold the key to these moons. The authors present 13 poems that take readers through the year, from the “Moon of Popping Trees” — when the “cottonwoods crack with frost” — to the “Big Moon” of the Abenakis. — Publishers Weekly

![Legends of the Iroquois](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1570670560_1.jpg?itok=EyJ1LBmj)
This collection of familiar Iroquois stories, told by elder and tribal scholar Tehanetorens, is made unique by the fact that they are also told in pictographs. There is a short essay on picture writing, and many pages of translations of the symbols themselves, including those for each of the clans of the Six Nations. The non-pictograph illustrations, by Mohawk artist Kahionhes (John Fadden), expand the meaning and power of the stories. — Oyate
