Stands-by-Herself lives with her grandmother in a buffalo-hide tipi
among their Cheyenne people on the Great Plains. Other children
make fun of her because she is always by herself dreaming. One day
she finds a strange egg-shaped rock and senses there is something
special about it. Taking it home, she cares for it as if it were a
child, even though the other children mock her. When a terrible
drought threatens to wipe out her people, could Stands-by-Herself's
rock hold the key to their survival? The Thunder Egg is the story
of a girl's coming of age, when she realizes that life can require
us to think of others before ourselves and to follow what our
hearts tell us. Featuring an author's note, informative notes on
the illustrations, and a bibliography, the book is filled with
vibrant images of Plains Indian life in the unspoiled West.
Carefully crafted text and paintings bring a true authenticity to
the time, place, and people of the story.
