This charming and poignant contemporary story about two Lakota
girls and their Laotian friend illuminates for children and adults
the Lakota meaning of family, friendship, life, and death. In the
Lakota way, Lana and her cousin Lori are like sisters, growing up
together under the caring eyes of an extended family of parents and
grandparents. Also like sisters, they have their share of squabbles
and fights, but when they meet a new girl at school who has
recently arrived from Laos, they are drawn closer by their shared
friendship, their discoveries about cultural differences, and their
experience with loss and death. An image of footprints in the snow,
one under the other so that it looks as if only one person is
walking, becomes the central compelling image in the story. "We
can't keep snow from melting," says Grandpa, "But the footprints
will always be there, even if we can't see them." Taking her
inspiration from Lakota and Asian students in her home state of
South Dakota, award-winning children's writer Virginia Driving Hawk
Sneve has crafted a simple story of friendship that survives a
tragic year, beautifully illuminating along the way many profound
truths about the human spirit.
