From the Author
It was like creating a song
Spider Woman is dominant in Navajo lore. She is the earth mother who tends her people. I found a reference to this story about her in Barbara Kingsolvers’ extraordinary novel ANIMAL DREAMS. Lisa Desimini has drawn the words into life with her riveting illustrations. Though Lisa and I have never met, we have made 2 songs together. First HOW THE STARS FELL INTO THE SKY, then THE MAGIC WEAVER OF RUGS. I wrote the words and she wrote the music.
Synopsis
When two Navajo women pray for help for their cold and hungry people, Spider Woman teaches them how to weave.
