| Publisher Description: Illustrated by Children of the Chickasaw Nation Chickasaw elder Margie Testerman offers a glimpse into her heritage through poetry inspired by her desire to share traditional Chickasaw culture with future generations. Testerman reveals her unique perspective in poems intended to be interesting, educational, and, at times, whimsical. Each poem was penned with her grandchildren in mind, and they capture the sweet spirit and tenderness that we love about our grandmothers. Footprints Still Whispering in the Wind showcases Testerman's work as a tribute to her Chickasaw people and to the natural world that influences every aspect of their lives. Additionally, each poem is interpreted and illustrated by a Chickasaw child. These illustrations beautifully complement Margie Testerman's poetry, while offering us insight into the vibrant imaginations of today's children of the Chickasaw Nation. |
