Martinez's book is a gem! Though, I'm somewhat biased since I grew up listening to the stories of my grandmother. Now years later I still do not get tired of hearing trickster stories and adventures. It is quite a treat to have these stories at hand to flip through and read. Chapters are easily organized to read as stand alone stories. My Life in San Juan Pueblo comes with a CD so readers can get a sense of how Martinez paints a story through her words. Whether this book is read by a young child or the young at heart, readers can get a sense of Pueblo life and culture as lived by a respected and accomplished educator. It is through the stories that are read and re-told in which Pueblo culture and story continue to breathe life. And, the stories collected in My Life in San Juan Pueblo embody how storytelling is at the heart of Pueblo existence. My favorite is The Old Man Bat and the Chickadees. Enjoy!Read full review
