Her home was a fabulous workshop full of tools and spare parts.

I was born during the Little Ice Age,

Hello, my name is Flo.

but I’m not staying little for long. I have plans, BIG plans.

I’m heading for the ocean. I can’t wait to see the sea! It might not look like it, but I FLOW. I’m like a river of ice, always on the move.

Many glaciers formed during the Little Ice Age, a cool period hundreds of years ago.

and a baby brother, Toby, who couldn’t do much. Gotta hang out while my ice builds up. It’s summertime, so I’m a little sweaty, but not too bad.

Still chillin’.

Still waiting . . .

Waiting. Waiting.

She shared her home with a parental unit

For a glacier to grow, more snow has to fall in winter than melts in summer. It takes hundreds, even thousands, of years for glaciers to grow, shrink, and move.

Children of the Midnight Sun explores the

lives of eight Alaska Native children, each representing a unique and ancient culture: Eskimo—Yup’ik and Iñupiat; Aleut; and Indian—Athabascan, Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida. This extraordinary book, winner of a Benjamin Franklin Award and an Independent Publisher Book Award, also looks at the critical role elders play in teaching children cherished Native ways. The words of the young Natives themselves are woven through each written portrait, paired with intimate pictures of them in their Alaska towns and villages. As Aleut leader Larry Merculieff writes in his foreword, “This book gives everyone another avenue for listening to what our children are saying.”

Translated by Sir Richard Burton T $14.99 • PB • 480p • 5 x 7 ISBN 9781513261607

he 50th Anniversary Edition of a Colorado favorite, Tomboy Bride presents a first-hand account of a young pioneer woman and her life in a rough and tumble mining town of the Old West. In 1906 at the age of twenty, Harriet Fish hopped on a train from Oakland, California, to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado in search of a new life as the bride of assayer George Backus. Together, the couple ventured forth to discover mining town life at the turn of the twentieth century, adjusting to dizzying elevation heights of 11,500 feet and all the hardships that come with it: limited water, rationed food supplies, lack of medical care, difficulty in travel, avalanches, and many more. As she and George move from Telluride’s Tomboy Mine to the rugged coast of British Columbia, to the town of Elk City, Idaho, and then back to Colorado’s Leadville, Harriet paints a poignant picture of a world centered around mining, sharing amusing and often challenging experiences as a woman of the era. Including a new foreword by Colorado’s award-winning writer Pam Houston, as well as previously unpublished photographs documenting Harriet’s journey, Tomboy Bride endures as a classic of the region to this day as it captures in heartfelt emotion and vivid detail the personal story of Harriet Backus, a true pioneer of the West.
