For a Girl Becoming (Volume 66) (Sun Tracks)

A beautiful gift for any woman, girl, or lady in your life. The illustrations are beautiful as are the words.

This is a wonderful perspective on life written for a young girl. This will be a perfect gift for my granddaughter.

Perfect sentiments for a young woman turning into adulthood.

Divine book. I have given it as a gift twice now to teenage girls who are 'becoming' to remind them of who stands with them, that they are never truly alone. Inspired me to begin to write my own song of becoming.

Although yes, I'm native and have long loved Joy Harjo's poetry, this is NOT a book "just" for NDN girls. It's a book for ANY girl, of any age. It talks about our life passages and our families, beyond our ethnicity, all caught in Harjo's glittering poetic prose, both crystaline and frank, and illustrated here beautifully. HIGHLY recommend as a gift for the favorite girl in your life, whether 6 or 60.

Beautiful

this book is amazing for anyone who has a daughter and wants to give her big, multi-generational love. Joy is a poet whose language is soulful and the illustrations are lovely.

Love the poem, love the book, gift for an infant baby girl.

A beautiful, courageous volume that should be gifted to every young girl as she begins the process toward womanhood. In a world that degrades, diminishes, and dehumanizes young women, *For a Girl Becoming* is an honour song, a prayer, and an invocation of the power and possibility in girls and the women they become. As one of the finest poets working today, Harjo's language is breathtaking in its beauty and raw love, and the art by Mercedes McDonald is the perfect companion to Harjo's words. Highly recommended.
